| I was driving down the highway at around 65mph and went over a expansion joint on a bridge and the front end of the truck started shaking so bad that it ripped the steering wheel out of my hand. i had to come to a complete stop to make the shaking stop, i thought i had a front tire blow out,nearly hit the car in the lane next to me. i took it back to the dealer they put a new steering dampener on it and said try it, but it will probably not be any better, then the next fix is to put on a bigger steering wheel so i can hold on better when it happens. look on line this known as the ford wheel of death there is a bunch of videos on you tube about it and some actually show it happen. somebody needs to make ford pay for a proper fix before someone gets killed. | |||

| Ford f350 crewcab 4x4 high speed wheel wobble ( death wobble) happens at speeds of 65 or higher and hitting a bump in the road. ford has looked at it , said the alignment was out and fix it. the wobble has happened three times sense then. ford has sent a letter stating that the tire pressure needs to be correct, it is. this is a stock truck and when this happens i have to come to a complete stop before i can proceed and with anti lock brakes this is real scary. *tr | |||
