 Description of the problemOur super duty is one of the ones affected by the death wobble. How anyone can say it's not a safety issue is beyond me. Drive 40 mph and have it shake so bad it crosses the center line or drive any speed from 40 to 75 mph on the highway and go over a bump or change in pavement and have it shake so bad you need to hit the brakes to slow it while traffic is going at 70. Very dangerous. Ford has the simple solution but won't let it out. Cambers are factory set at 4. 2 which causes the problem. Changing to3. 5 fixes it. Ford could have recalled them back in 2007 and stopped factory settings of 4. 2. We spent over $1500 on front end repairs,pllus shocks and tires which was money thrown out. We were told to put new rotors and calipers to correct it. No way. Tomorrow it goes in to have the cambers reset. Oh over $700 also to replace all bushings before a ford company mechanic told us about the cambers. The wobble may be the reason so many vehicles cross into oncoming traffic. That wobble is bone jarring and my wife has 20 floating spurs in her neck so it's painful for her. Bought the truck in 2016 and the problem is still there.
