Description of the problem | While traveling at highway speeds i hit a bump and my truck went into a very violent shake, took my truck to autonation ford in littleton co, they replaced the steering damper, it had 15,000 miles on it. At 21,000 miles the same thing happened, i again returned to autonation ford and they told me on the service report that i needed to install after market products and they would not do anything else to my truck. I have since been in contact with the dealership where i purchased the truck, spradley ford in pueblo co. They informed me it was a camber and caster issue and any ford dealership knows of the problem and should be able to fix the issue. I have spoken with autonation ford in littleton and summit ford in silverthorne co, both have told me they have not heard of any such issue. Today i spoke with 4 wheel parts about my issue, they told me they are back logged with ford trucks with the same issue and it can be resolved with many part replacements at a cost ranging from $25. 00 to $700. 00, unless the tires need to be replaced due to wear. At this point i feel my truck is unsafe to drive and which direction to take to resolve the issue of the "death wobble" |
