| I have a 2011 ford sd f-350 srw with 26505 miles. on several occasions, i have experience violent front end shimmy after hitting a bump in the road or an expansion joint on a bridge or on the freeway. the vehicle requires sudden braking to bring the vehicle back in control. the front end shakes violently to the point of taking the steering out of your hands. this is very dangerous. the last time it occurred i was on a bridge. the violent movement of the front end moved me into the adjacent lane, luckily, there was no vehicle in the lane. i could have caused an accident due to this problem. *tr | |||
