Have experienced violent uncontrollable shaking in the front end when going over even the smallest of bumps. I've had the front end parts changed out (shimmy shock, links,etc. Have this done every 3,000 miles roughly. I now have 20,000 miles on my very expensive f350 power stroke. Dealership claims ford is aware but doesn't have a fix. I know there is a class action lawsuit out on this but ford is denying it..
