| Description of the problem | My 2011 ford f250 diesel 4x4 crew cab 6. 5' bed has experienced unexplainable suspension vibrations and wobbles over the course of its, now, 13. 5k mile life. The truck, no matter how many times the wheels and tires were balance, bounces at 45-70 mph and bounces at a very dangerous level at higher speeds when hitting a bump or uneven pavement. The problem is also worsened at the onset of the speed heading into a corner where the wheel is turned. It feels like the wheels go out of sync or out of shape and bounce forcing me to decelerate and on a few occasions, stop altogether. |
