The "death wobble" started after 15k miles on my truck. I've brought my truck to ford dealership. Ford dealership in san jose, ca told me the dampners on my truck needs to be replaced, but the parts are in back order and doesn't know when ford will have the parts for replacement. During our latest trip to santa ana, ca on dec 26, 2019. The front end of my truck, steering wheel shook violently at highway speed (45MPH+) when braking or going over potholes/rough roads. The woobles are much worst this time.
