 Description of the problemWith 24,000 miles on my truck my vehicle front tires and steering wheel experienced a violent shaking to where my truck felt like the axle was going to fall off. It has been in the ford dealership 4 times for this death wobble. The first time i was going 70 mph on the freeway and went over a bridge joint which triggered the shaking. As soon as i slowed down below 45 (on the freeway mind you), the wobble goes away and my truck rides like normal. I pulled over to inspect, but i couldn't find anything wrong. I took it to the dealership, and they found that my ball joints were destroyed, and replaced them. Three months later the death wobble came back and i took it back to the dealer who originally replaced the ball joints, and once again the new ball joints were destroyed. This time they also installed a steering stableizer which made the front end feel better, but after a few months of driving it, the death wobble came back. I now took my truck to another dealer who instantly found a technician service bulletin (tsb) #16-0087 which is posted from ford in april of 2016 which states that some suspension parts need to be added to the rear of my truck, so they installed those parts.. The very next day the death wobble cam back, and the dealership installed a new track bar,this time even though it didn't look defective, but because after having my truck for a month, and even with the help of ford's mechanical specialists at the main headquarters couldn't find anything anything else wrong. This wobble all started while my truck was under warranty, and then the past 3 repairs, it was no longer under warranty.
