| Description of the problem | While driving my 08 ford f250 sd, i experience severe shimmy going over a bump in the road or small dip. More noticeable when going about 45 and i hit a bump and the wheel jerks and throws the truck what feels like feet. I have not replaced any parts yet nor have i spoken with the dealer. The first i ever knew there was a problem noted by ford was when i received an alert on flmowner. Com and it stated field service action number: 09l02 fsa title: customer maintenance reminder vehicle shimmy and tire inflation pressure i always maintain proper tire pressure and have them balanced and rotated on a regular basis through discount tires (where i bought new tires in 2011). I don't have a lift and haven't altered any of the stock suspension parts. Mileage and time frame are an approx as i wasn't aware of this service issue prior to this week. Those are the approximates to when i moved to co. |
