Consumer Description

MY FORD F250 4X4 TRUCK HAS A SEVERE SHIMMY OF THE FRONT WHEELS WHICH CAN OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AROUND 55-60 MILES PER HOUR. IN ORDER TO CALM THE SHIMMY OR OSCILLATION, I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AT LEAST 10 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL TIMES, BOTH WHEN TOWING A 5TH WHEEL AND WITHOUT THE 5TH WHEEL. HOWEVER, IT IS MORE PRONE TO OCCURRING WHEN DOWNING THE 5TH WHEEL. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALER TO INSPECT THE SUSPENSION AND ADJUST THE TIRE PRESSURE, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ALL FINE. I HAD AN OCCURRENCE OF THIS SHIMMY WITHIN 3 DAYS FROM TAKING IT FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE SEEN THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPORT ON THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR, AND FORD HAS STATED IT IS A TIRE INFLATION PROBLEM, BUT AFTER TAKING IT INTO THE FORD DEALER AND THEM CHECKING IT OUT AND THEN IT HAPPENING, I THINK IT IS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. *TR
