My 2006 f-250 shakes violently when hitting a pot hole this occurs about once every couple of weeks. I have to come to a complete stop for the vehicle to quit shaking I have almost been rearended several times and I have been in the lane on oncoming traffic with my 2-month old in the vehicle because I can not control the vehicle when this occurs.
Hello; I have a 2006 ford super duty 4x4 diesel. I have low miles 23,000 and no modifications to truck. I have had a few times where the front end will shake after hitting a pot hole or bridge bump. It now did this again on 9/2/2009 and was violent and dangerous, almost lost control. I have searched the internet this morning and its called the 'death wobble' and seems alot of ford super duty's are experiencing this problem. Please advise me what steps to take as I am extremely concerned. Thanks
