Consumer Description
MY FORD F350 SUPER DUTY 4WD HAS HAD THE FRONT END REBUILT 3 TIMES FOR WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60 TO 75 MPH ON STRAIGHT DRY PAVEMENT THE FRONT END WHEELS WILL START AN OSCILLATING AND UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT THAT IS SO VIOLENT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE IS SO PRONOUNCED THAT ITEMS FLY OUT OF DOOR POCKETS, THE CONSOLE AND CUP HOLDERS. VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND NEXT TO ME ARE FORCED TO APPLY THEIR BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO A POSSIBLE COLLISION. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OVER MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE IT. YOU CAN SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" AND VIEW MANY VIDEOS TAKEN OF THE PROBLEM.
