Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVE MY 2012 FORD F-250 AT SPEEDS OF 65+, THE STEERING WHEEL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. THE VIDEOS FOUND ON YOUTUBE REPLICATE IT CORRECTLY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT OTHER DAMAGE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED TO MY TRUCK. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I'VE BOUGHT AN ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR AND TRIED MANY DIFFERENT TIRES COMBINATIONS. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION.
