| I have the death wobble which means my f250 starts to shake uncontrollably (as if driving on a washboard dirt road) after i hit a bump in the road. could be a manhole cover, a pot hole or the seems on the freeway. especially if i hit the bump with one tire and if i am on a curve. it shakes until the truck comes to a stop. started infrequently now happens often and predictably (i have video). tires helped for a while, new shocks did not solve problem. lots of posts complaints online. don't know solution but seems very dangerous. | |||
