The oscillation did not happen again for approximately 6 months. Then it happened again 2 times back to back. After that i did not…

Death wobble: when the vehicle is moving and hits a groove or bump (does not have to be a major groove or bump) in the road going upward of 50 mph, it will begin to shake violently. The shaking can only be stopped by a sudden and substantial reduction of speed, which adds to the danger, particularly on the highway. I have several videos of this occurring that i would like to share. The videos take place after…

The steering on my 2015 ford f250 has a very serious wobble. It occurs at highway speeds (55-70 mph), it is a very violent shaking that almost caused me to lose control of my truck. I have replaced the steering damper, shocks and steering arm ball joint. I am in the process of replacing all tie rod ends now as i am afraid to drive it over 50 mph.

When truck hits a bump at highway speeds, especially in a left hand curve and down hill slope, it starts shaking violently. It becomes hard to steer and braking hard only makes the problem worse. You can only left off the gas and slow down hoping you can keep it on the road until it stops. It happened twice on our family vacation with my wife and kids in the truck. They feared for their lives. After that trip the…

Started having death wobble last year at about 95000 miles. Put new tires on it, new rotors, trackbar, draglink, tie rods. I think it is a lot more controllable but it still bump steers in curves and the steering wheel shakes violently when hitting a bump but doesn't break into death wobble. I've just reported three vehicles that have this problem all in the last year.
