2005 FORD F-350 Suspensionfront Problems

I HAVE A 2005 F350 WITH A 4 INCH LIFT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" 4 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. 3 TIMES IT WAS @ ~40 MPH AND 1 TIME IT WAS AT 75. SCARED ME TO DEATH. MY BRAKES DON'T WORK WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I HAVE TO COAST TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAD THE SHOCKS REPLACED (72K ON TRUCK) SO THE 1ST SHOP I WENT TO TOLD ME THAT WOULD FIX IT. NO SUCH LUCK... I PICKED IT UP AND RIGHT AFTER IT DID IT AGAIN. I JUST TOOK IT TO A COMPANY WHO WANTS $700 TO REPLACE THE PITMAN ARM AND GEAR BOX. I HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET. THEN I HAD A LOCAL 4X4 GUY TELL ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND PUT A 2ND ONE ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $500 ON SHOCKS. THE...

ON JULY 4, 2005, I PURCHASED A 2005 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY LARIAT WITH LONG BED AND DUAL WHEELS AND 4WD AT EL CAJON FORD. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED SEVERE FRONT-END VIBRATION WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 60 MPH. IT CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT TO ABOUT 80 MPH. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST VISIT FOR SERVICE AT DOWNEY FORD. AFTER A FEW VISITS FOR DIAGNOSTICS, DOWNEY FORD INSTALLED A "DAMPENER" ON THE FRONT END. IT MADE THE PROBLEM BETTER, BUT IT DID NOT COMPLETELY CURE THE DEFECT. I EVENTUALLY BOUGHT A LANCE CAMPER, WHICH WAS ON THE TRUCK FOR OVER A YEAR. WHILE THE TRUCK HAD THE 3000 LB CAMPER ON IT, THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY ON THE STRAIGHTAWAY, BUT WAS HORRIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE CURVES. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE SUCH CURVE IS THE 605 SB TO THE 405 SB IN LONG BEACH. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL...

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F-350 4X4 DIESEL DUALLY TRUCK. SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK I EXPERIENCED A ROUGH SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY STREETS THE FRONT END SHIMMY'S OUT OF CONTROL. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST FULL SIZE TRUCK AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT ACTS LIKE THIS. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS SENT ME INTO THE LANES BESIDE ME. I ALSO TOW A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER AND IT AMPLIFIES THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND FORD IN NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE PROBLEM. *TR
