Description of the problem	While driving down straight down the highway about 50 mph. I crossed a bridge expansion joint and the front of the pickup shook violently. I had to apply the brakes firmly and pull to the shoulder quickly. I thought the front end of the truck was coming apart and i was going to wreck. This had never happened before and there was no warning prior to the event. I had been driving about 20 miles before this occur. It happened again several days later. I only have 28k miles on it. My friend later told me this was the 'death wobble' and that he had it on his f250-2012. He said it required replacement of a suspension bar(track bar) on the front of the truck which i had done. No further problem have been noted since replaced.. 1 week ago. The shop where i had the work done said they have fixed about 70 trucks and it will occur again when the ball joint on the bar wears out again. I have a king ranch model with 20 inch tires that may be a contributing factor. Other people i know with f250s and 18 inch tires have not noticed this problem.
