Description of the problem	I have had 3 incidents of what i have found to be called the "death wobble" in my 2005 f-250 4 door crew cab 4 wheel drive pick up truck where the front end of the vehicle goes into a violent bouncing and shuddering after passing over a bridge joint or similar uneven spot on the highway while traveling approx. 65 mph. This resulted in a near loss of control and could not be stopped until i was able to slow to approx. 35mph. This caused a near collision with a vehicle alongside me as well as a near rear ending from the vehicle behind me as i had to slow to 35mph in the high speed lane. Each time this occurred i had my 2 young daughters in the vehicle with me. I have read that there is a problem with the track bar being at an improper angle to the drag link? I understand that this is an inherent problem with many year model fords and they refuse to acknowledge or fix the problem. I am currently looking for an aftermarket fix as i believe this is a serious safety issue which could cause loss of control and accident.
