| Description of the problem | 4wd front end shakes violently without warning around 50 mph. Front wheels wobble on stock vehicle 37000 miles. Have to come to a complete stop to make it go away. Unable to turn left or right as its happening. Almost killed my family. Seems to be known as "death wobble" to the online community also seems to common to not be a issue. Ford claims its a worn track bar bushing and would not fix this under my drivetrain warranty. Experts claim it is design issue in the 4wd front end caster angle. Has happend multiple occasions |
