| Description of the problem | I was driving down a main st, going about 35 mph... When i hit a bump the truck would shake violently and the steering wheel was also shaking violently , i had it diagnosed as the drag link ball joint and an upper ball joint both on the passenger side front... I got a letter in the mail from ford just yesterday about the shimmy/shaking issue, the letter states that it is due to tire pressure in which i believe to be very wrong!! |
