My ford f250 has a very dangerous wobble when I hit a bump on the highway. I have checked the tire pressure and all four tires are fine. After doing some research I had found that this is a on going problem with the ford sd trucks. Something has to be done or someone is going to get killed due to a bad accident. Every dealer that I talk to has never heard of this problem but yet I see it posted all over the internet. I am very upset and I am going to take legal action.
