| Description of the problem | I have an f-250 super duty fx4. The truck only has 15,000 miles and last year in oct, 2012 the truck had a violent shimmy in the front end at 9,000 miles. This occurred on two different occasions and i took the truck to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer and the problem was fixed for about a year. The truck has started this shaking again. This has occurred three different times in the last month. This happens if i change lanes that are uneven at about 35-40 mph and will also happen at speeds greater than 60 mph if the road is a bit bumpy. It is very scary and the truck is uncontrollable until the shaking stops. |
