I had never heard of a death wobble until I was on my way to the hospital with my three children after being involved in a rollover accident. We were traveling north bound on the m53 van dyke expressway which has a posted speed of 70 MPH. I had just passed a vehicle that was in the right lane. Just after passing this vehicle I developed this death wobble, I was switching lanes back to the right lane when my steering wheel started to shake, not just a little shacking either.
Hello, I have a ford f 250 super duty king ranch 4x4 diesel that my wife and I always wanted. We bought from a used car/truck lot. The rims and tires are brand new as is alignment was also had done to fix the problem right out of the gate but it didn't.. When the truck gets to 44 miles an hour and up to 50 MPH my f 250 hops land I don't know if its from the front or back but I think its happening in the front the way it feels on the steering wheel..
