| Description of the problem | The front end of the truck begins to violently shake at 60 miles an hour. Sometimes a bump causes it, other times it occurs when simply driving straight. Have had regular service at ford dealer, but the issue has gotten progressively worse over the years. Have alerted them of the problem for years. It's all over the internet as "ford f250 front end shake" or more concerningly as the "ford death wobble." it's not a tire pressure issue, as i've only used properly inflated factory tires that were dealer installed. Problem has continued to get worse, and the shake has now made the truck virtually undrivable at 60 mph. Please google the issue. It's real. Love my ford, but my family comes first, and the wobble is too scary to ignore. Just paid another $2800 to try another fix (track bar and ball joints), plus another $2000 for new tires. Someone will get hurt with this. |
