 Description of the problemI have a 2012 ford f-250 with 185k miles. I was driving along la 23 at about 65 mph in louisiana when i crossed a bridge, passing over where the highway meets the bridge when my steering wheel began to shake violently and lost ability to maneuver the truck. I slowed down to 10 mph in the right lane where the shake diminished. Experienced this approximately five more times recording the shake on my phone, i searched the internet when i got home and discovered the term "death wobble" occurring at speeds between 55-70. My truck begins to wobble violently when i hit a bump or joist in the interstate. Requires me to slow down to app 10mph on the side of the interstate to make it go away. Death wobble began to occur on thursday, 17 sep while traveling for work and i had to drive less than 50 mph the remainder of my way home. I took the truck to the nearest ford dealership on friday morning to address and fix the problem where they replaced numerous front end parts to the tune of $2100. 00. Picked the truck top on a saturday morning and by monday afternoon the wobble occured again traveling on i-12 at 65 mph near mandeville, la. I had to proceed 50 mph home where i took the vehicle back to the dealership immediately for further evaluation. Truck is currently at the local dealership, supreme ford, in slidell, la for further evaluation. I have several videos capturing the wobble but am unable to upload to the website.
