| Description of the problem | While driving home from work, just leaving town i hit 50 mph and the truck starts to wobble from side to side and vibrate till i slow down to under 40 mph. I got the notice from ford telling me it all had to do with tire pressure. I inflated the tires to the required pressure and it only made things worse. I have contacted them the first time this happened only for them to tell me there is nothing wrong. Clearly there is a problem. I have spent so much money replacing parts in the front end of this truck. Tires are now junk on the front end. The only thing i could do is under inflate the front tires to gain better control and drive slower. Still wobbles just not as bad. This is an on going problem i have everyday. |
