Consumer Description

WHEN CROSSING OVER SOME MINOR PAVEMENT IRREGULARITY, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT ETC - THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I MUST HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO TRY AND KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN ON THE FORD TRUCK FORUMS AS "THE DEATH WOBBLE" HERE IS A UTUBE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8EUQ6F8RGT4 CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS ON THE FORD TRUCK FORUM THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED IT - AND THE FACT THAT MOST SUPER DUTY OWNERS ARE NOT EVEN ON THIS FORUM THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO 4X4 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. HELP!! *TR
