| Description of the problem | Ford f250 steering oscillation. I know there was an investigation, and the matter is now closed, but how can this be. The simple fact that the tire pressure is the cure all? I currently have the stock tires still, and set to the factory requested pressure. And it will give me "death wobble" many times in the course of the trip. To the point that i even have to pull over to get it to stop. I have the entire front end checked out by a shop and the report was there is no worn out parts. It is a well known fact that tre style ball joints dont work well as track bar ends, yet ford keeps using them. The complaints all over the internet are not wrong. I am afraid the let me parents drive the truck and they were the main reason we purchased it. |
