Description of the problem | When i hit a rough patch in the road with the front left side, i get a violent shaking in the front end and almost loose control. Control is regained when you slow to 5-10mph. I have had this issue for awhile and have had the front end inspected with no defects. After doing some research, this condition has a name "the death wobble." ford has issued 2 tsbs # 18-2268 and #06-2214. No one has mentioned these tsbs to me. This is a very dangerous condition as it take control of the vehicle. I also understand this is an issue with other heavy duty trucks from dodge. |
