| Description of the problem | My 2017 ford f-250 has a "death wobble" that has almost killed us several times. When driving on the interstate above about 65 mph and hitting some rough pavement it develops a death wobble so violent i have to white knuckle the steering wheel and slam on the brakes to gain control, which only happens at about 30 mph. After the second time i had the tires balanced as i thought that was the cause, but it happened again three times on our last trip. |
