| Description of the problem | 2007 ford f250 super duty 6. 0 liter diesel 4x4. Steering wobble (oscillation): purchased vehicle new after about 30000 miles when driving 60-65 mph and hit an rough road surface - steering begins to shake violently until slowed to approx. 40 mph. At 42000 miles had 6" lift and 37' tires and dual steering stabilizer put on vehicle and problem seemed to resolve up until approx. 54000 miles same issue again. Have had wheels balanced, air pressure and alignment check - found loose track bar and tightened. This helped to reduce the frequency of wobble occurrence, however still not resolved. Upon researching this it appears to be a global ford super duty problem whether vehicle is stock or had suspension modifications. It is a potentially dangerous situation that ford needs to address instead of deny there is a problem. |
