Consumer Description

THE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY LEFT TO RIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WAS BROUGHT TOP THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED TO BE REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH IT. IT WAS NOTICED AGAIN AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS TOLD AT THAT POINT THE TRACK BAR BALL JOINT WAS WORN AND WAS CHARGED $400.00 FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. NOW THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHIMMY AND IS UNSAFE FOR ANY SPEED ABOVE 45MPH. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. THE PROBLEM CAN BE SEEN ON LINE AT YOU TUBE / FORD DEATH WOBBLE. THE TECHNICIAN THAT WORKED ON MY VEHICLE TOLD ME HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *TR
