STEERING
DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HIT A BUMP AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH. HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE TYPE AND THE RELUCTANCE OF THE MANUFACTURER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. AFRAID OF WHAT POTENTIALLY MAY HAPPEN IF THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH NO DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER INTERVENTION. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2004 F250 2WD SUPERDUTY PICKUP SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHENEVER I HIT THE SMALLEST POTHOLE OR DRIVE OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. THIS CAUSED MY RIGHT TIE ROD TO SEPARATE AND RUN THREE PEOPLE OFF THE ROAD. AFTER NEW TIE RODS THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT .NO ONE HAS ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS OTHER THAN AN AFTER MARKET STEERING STABILIZER. SHOULDN'T FORD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT ABOUT 45 TO 55MPH TRUCK SOMETIMES DEVELOPS A LIGHT SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. IT OCCASIONALLY BECOMES VERY SEVERE FEELING LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION IS ABOUT TO COME APART. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT LEFT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, LIKE WHEN CHANGING LANES. SLOWING WILL ELIMINATE THE BOUNCE, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SLOW QUICKLY WHEN THE FRONT END IS BOUNCING AND SEVERELY VIBRATING. IT CAUSES A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR
