Description of the problem | I have a 2005 ford f-350 4x4 diesel dually truck. Soon after i bought the truck i experienced a rough shimmy in the front end. When i go over bumps on the freeway or city streets the front end shimmy's out of control. The truck has been to the dealer on several occasions and they have told me that nothing is wrong. This is not my first full size truck and this is the first one that acts like this. Several times it has sent me into the lanes beside me. I also tow a fifth wheel trailer and it amplifies the problem. This problem occurs every time i drive the vehicle and ford in not responsive to the problem. |
