 Description of the problemThe f350sd has a shimmy when you hit a dip in the road or a bump. This is violent enough for concern that it'll cause an accident. It doesn't go away on it's own you have to come to a stop or get to about five miles an hour for it to reset. This has happened multiple times. I have had the local front end shop replace the front steering components, even though the components came with in spec that ford says is safe and corrective action needs be taken. This helped for about 10 months but now i'm back to the same old problem. Ford says to take it to a ford authorized dealer and have them check it out. I'll do it one more time, this is repetitive, they don't see a problem in their product so why am i wasting my time. Everybody says its your tire pressure, wrong, i run it at max and i've even tried running it five pounds higher than recommended. Would someone please help us and get this fixed right. I know ford wont ever acknowledge that there is a problem for the chance of a lawsuit. So i guess it's up to the highway safety council to help. I'll give all of you a ride and show you how bad it is. And then i can give you all the documents showing ford says the front end are within spec. You know its bad when it shimmies you off the road, this is as best you can do to avoid an accident.
