| Description of the problem | When driving down the road and you hit a bump just right the entire truck begins to violently shake. It shakes so bad and the only way to get it to stop is to pull over immediately. Almost hit a semi that was next to me. I am told its called the ford death shake and you can see videos on the internet of the problem and i too have taken a video on my phone of my truck doing this. This should be recalled and fixed. I was told it was a steering stabilizer bushing, so i replaced it. Still did it. I was told it could be the strut on the stabilizer bar, replaced it. Still does it. Now in at ford again and they telling me its some pin bar,, what ever that is. They are replacing it. This is apparently a big problem because i see a lot of complaints on this... Bad design along with the regen system to meet emission but that's a whole different story. Thanks |
