| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 ford f-250 crew cab 4x4 long bed truck all stock. When driving at speeds above 55 miles per hour i experience violent shaking from the front end which is called death wobble after doing research. Ford says that there is nothing wrong with the truck and that it is fine. The wobble only stops when my speed is decreased under 40 mph or so. When this happens the truck is extremely hard to control and requires you to slam on the brakes at high speeds. I have founds hundreds of people online with the same problem with the 05-06 super duty trucks. This has happened to me dozens of times and i'm tired of it. I put a larger size tire all the way around and it didn't help any. |
