| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 f250 lariat crew cab 6. 0. There are no modifications from stock on the vehicle. I was and continue to run recommended air pressure in the tires. While driving the vehicle at a speed of 50 mph in a slight turn, immediately after hitting a dip in the road, i experienced a violent shake in the front end. It felt as though the tires were hopping which made the truck extremely hard to control. As the front end hopped it pushed through the turn. This seems to be in intermittent condition brought on by speeds over 40mph, in turning situations, where there is a bump and or dip in the road. Based on my research lately this seems to be a know safety issue that ford has chosen to ignore. |
