| Description of the problem | Accelerating on to interstate at about 65mph, the drivers side front wheel hit a depression in the road surface, the steering wheel started to swing violently from left to right with the magnitude of the displacement becoming larger in a very short period of time. I braked hard bringing the vehicle onto the side of the freeway. Narrowly missing an 18 wheeler truck. After checking front suspension, i gingerly rejoined the freeway and continued at 45mph to the next exit. I understand that this is know as death wobble in the f250 community |
