Description of the problem	My ford f-250 super duty started what many refer to as the "death wobble" at 65,000 miles. The first instance of this occurred when my 18 year old daughter was driving the truck (with me in the passenger seat) to visit colleges. While traveling at highway speed (78 mph) we went over a concrete to asphalt transition and the entire front end started violently bouncing or wobbling back and forth like a shopping cart wheel would. She obviously panicked and i had to tell her to slow the truck to 25 mph (on a highway) to regain control. We ended up in median as there was total loss of steering control during the event. This particular trip was from houston to lubbock and i drove the remainder of the trip to and from experiencing the same death wobble another 4 times. I tooke the truck in and had replacement parts put in and condition continued. Returned the truck to legacy ford in rosenberg, tx for fix and they indicated that they could not replicate the problem. Please note that the truck is 100% stock with good michelin tires. A simple google search will yield hundreds of complaints of this exact problem.
