    Several different times while driving on the highway at highway speeds ranging from 55 to 65 mph i have hit a small bump or uneven pavement which has caused my truck to go into an uncontrollable death wobble. It shakes so violently that i almost lose control and have to slow to almost a stop before it quits.

My death wobble developed while still under factory warranty, which was explained in detail with symptoms and experience. Dealer claims they had never heard of such a problem. In the end they replaced the steering stabilizer, which ultimately did not remedy the problem. The…

    My ford f350 super duty 4wd has had the front end rebuilt 3 times for what is commonly called the "death wobble". Driving at highway speeds of 60 to 75 mph on straight dry pavement the front end wheels will start an oscillating and up and down movement that is so violent that it is difficult to hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking of the vehicle is so pronounced that items fly out of door pockets, the console…

    2013 f350 front end violent shaking after running over a bump on highway going 60 mph,this made the truck lose all steering control. With applied braking the situation only got worse. The vehicle ended up on the center line creating a very dangerous situation with other vehicles around. We only gained control of the situation when the vehicle slowed to 45 mph. This situation occurred twice in one day.
