| Description of the problem | At highway speeds the vehicle will go into a "death wobble" when going over bumpy roads. The vehicle shakes violently and i am forced to slow down to about 25mph in order to regain control of the truck. I took the truck to my local ford dealer when it first happened and they replaced parts which temporarily fixed the problem. The first incident occurred on 12-22-18 and was fixed on 01-04-19 by replacing the drag link and damper assembly. Today, 03-31-19, the truck did another death wobble at 70 mph. |
