| Description of the problem | My truck is a 2011 ford f-250 sd diesel. Death wobble. The first time i was traveling on a street and hit a bump at about 45 mph. The front end started to shimmy to the point i had to slow almost to a stop to gain control. This has happened at least 5 more times on the highway at speeds of 60 mph, i had to slow to at least 25-30 mph to gain control of the truck while other vehicles are still traveling at the posted highway speed. I have changed the steering stabilizer, all four shocks and had the tires rotated and balanced. I have had two mechanics look at the front end. They both have said the front end is tight and has no problems that they can see. My truck only has 41000 miles on it to date. |
