| Description of the problem | While traveling, mainly at highway speeds, in my 2007 f-250 4x4 (gas), any imperfections in the roadway surface (potholes, bridge approaches, ripples) send the front end of the truck into violent shakes, causing temporary loss of control of the vehicle, until it is slowed much below the posted speed limit. Such a loss of control is an imminent hazard not only to myself and passengers, but also to the traveling public in the vicinity. I have taken the vehicle to the ford dealership, and they have never heard of such an issue and suggested an alignment. *jb |
