    '08 ford f250. Severe front end shimmy. Ford said that this is related to tire pressure. Ii have owned 5 f250's and did not experience this until ford went to coil spring/trailing arm front suspension. Tire pressure on a truck is relative to the load carried. My dealer just quoted the company line and did nothing. The company did send out a notice concerning the problem, so obviously they are aware of it. I believe…
