What owners wrote
Ford f250, 2005 superduty - front end shakes violently when driving over a road imperfection (bridge transitions, bumpy roads etc..) I've brought it back numerous times after the first steering shim recall and made calls but have gotten no where. They told me tire pressure , buy new tires and there is nothing they can do! Now my truck is out of warranty they say bring it in we'll fix it. Ford should be ashamed of themselves! I never knew about this complaint sight before, I wish I did then.
2005 ford f250 front end shakes violently when driving over bumps in road including speed bumps, at any speed. Shakes so bad that vehicle wants to leave the road sideways. Shakes like a dog wagging off water. Replaced steering stabilizer, shocks, tires and had front ent checked. Still shaking. Getting ready to turn in to clunker program. Never buy a ford again, they know this is a problem.
