| Description of the problem | I have an 06 ford f 250 super duty super cab xlt with an 8 foot bed. I've had issues with extreme highway shaking. When it happens to me i'm usually going over 60 mph, and it happens when i hit a bump in the road, to me it feels like it is coming from the back end of the vehicle,like the wheels are now bouncing instead of rolling,the shaking is extremely violent,and i have to slow down to apx. 40 or less mph to make it go away. Sometimes it would last almost a full 30 seconds,but i never seem to have any steering issues,the vehicle is still in my control,but maybe that's because my instinct is to just go straight and slow down. In any case, i've had 2 people witness this while in the truck with me at different times and both of them turned white with fear,this is not just a little shimmy,like an unbalanced tire or something, it is a major design flaw and ford better do something about it! |
