| Shimmy- the shimmy problem that occurs in the 4x4 f250 should still be a significant issue for those of us that still own these trucks. the dealer tried the tire inflation story with me, but that did not correct the problem. road racing sport cars for many years i know that one pound can make a difference in handling and i made sure that the tires were inflated correctly. then they told me that ford sent them a new set of alingnment specs. well as we all know now that did not fix it either. then they told me that the tires being cupped was causing the shimmy, my response to that was that it was the shimmy causing the tires to cup not the tires being cupped causing the shimmy, although the worse the the cupping, the worse the shimmy . after insisting on new tires and then the new line up specs, we tried it again. then 960 miles later and only road driving the same cupping was happening again. then it was the dampener and attach point that was the problem. then 2 years later came the letter about decelerating and applying the brakes and then about 45 mph it should fix it. i guess that would be ok until your going down the interstate at 70 mph with an 18 wheeler behind you going 70 mph. would it be ok after what could be a serious and possibly fatal accident that i could pull out my letter that i got from ford and tell everyone ---sorry but i drive a ford | |||
