Consumer Description

2005 FORD F-250 CREW CAB 4X4, V-10, 56000 MILES. FRONT SUSPENSION WOBBLES AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN HITTING POTHOLES OR ANY SORT OF GOOD BUMP AT SPEEDS 30 MPH AND ABOVE. NEW LARGER TIRES, 265/75/17 ONLY AMPLIFIES THIS PROBLEM TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE STATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65+. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING DOWN A WASHBOARD DIRT ROAD AT HIGH SPEED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHUTTERING UNCONTROLLABLY. I NEED TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO 50 OR SO JUST TO GET CONTROL BACK. TIRE PRESSURES ARE AT RECOMMENDED SPECS. WHEN DRIVING UNDER CONTROL AND STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A LOT OF SLOP LEFT TO RIGHT. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN FEB 05 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR
