Consumer Description

MY F-250 SUPER DUTY, HAS A SEVERE FRONT END SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE DIED IN ONE INSTANCE,WE HAD TO MOVE ACROSS TWO LANES TO THE SHOULDER AS THE TRUCK BOUNCED UNCONTROLLABLY. I THOUGHT THE TIE RODS WERE GOING TO SNAP . THIS DID NOT HAPPEN JUST ONCE, BUT NUMEROUS TIMES. EVERY TIME I APPROACH A BRIDGE DECK, BUMP OR POT HOLE I'M AFRAID THE TUCK MAY HAVE A UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMY AND LOSING CONTROL! YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE TRUCK WILL HAVE A SLIGHT,OR SEVERE SHIMMY,SOMETIMES THERE IS NO SHIMMY AT ALL. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS TO BE RECTIFIED!!! JUST SO YOU ARE MADE AWARE MY TIRES ARE FINE AS IS MY SPEED. *TR
