| Description of the problem | My 2017 ford f-250 was having what i would describe as a "death wobble" when i drove over 65mph and hit any imperfection in the roadway (small pot hole, uneven surface at bridges, very small textured road) this happened around 5 times before i took it to the dealership. Once they looked it over, they said it was stabilizer bar, tension rod and bushings wore out, pick-up had 50k miles so... No warranty on repairs ($895. 00 in repairs) . This is a major safety issue, once wobble started i had to slow down to 40-45 mph and pull to shoulder of hi way to stop severe shaking of steering wheel and front end bouncing. It felt like a blow out on the front tires. |
