| Description of the problem | When i hit a small bump in the road while traveling at highway speeds the pickup starts to shake real bad. The only way to stop the shake is to slow down to around 45 mph. It has happened 6 times before i could get to a repair shop. They replaced the steering stabalizer arm. After the repair it happened 2 times again in one day. Some of the times i was in the fast lane when it happened. In heavy traffic i was glad the other people driving around me was able to slow enough to keep from hitting me. From what i have read on the subject it is what has been termed the ford death wobble. I have 34,000 miles on the pickup. The first time it happened was about one week ago. The last two times it happened was on november 24, 2019. I called the ford service department this morning and they told me that they would have to get back to me. They needed to check to see if there was anything they could do to fix the problem. |
