Description of the problem | Developed severe front end steering wobble (death wobble) at approximately 17,000 miles, august, 2020. Has occurred seven times since into the month of november, at speeds between 70 to 75 mph, on highways after hitting uneven road or potholes. Several times the incidents were severe with emergency braking in high speed traffic, with near crash, or accident. I have replaced steering stabilizer, and track bar with no improvement. I have not been to a ford dealer, since they do not have a recall on this common occurrence, and do not have a permanent fix to the problem. |
