| Description of the problem | I was travelling on the interstate at about 70mph. I crossed a bridge expansion gap, slight bump, and the steering wheel/front end of the vehicle vibrated so dramatically, i had to reduce speed and the vibrations stopped around 35mph as i moved to the shoulder. I took the truck to the ford dealer to have it serviced and was told that this is a known/common problem and that they will not have the parts to fix the vehicle for six to eight weeks at best. I was also advised not to drive the vehicle with the existing steering stabilization problem and that i could buy after market steering dampening shock and linkage to fix the problem. |
