Description of the problem | 2 issues the first is bump steering. If you hit a small bump on highway while steering left it will jump across the lane. Only does it in left turn in highway. The other is the death wobble. Mine did it when i hit an expansion joint at about 70 mph and did not stop until i was at 20 mph. I do not drive this truck over 63 mph now . The bump steering has been since new. The death wobble started at 32000 it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured from this as apparently it is a big problem in the newer trucks. Ford |
