What owners wrote
Traveling on bumpy roads at 55 to 60 MPH the front end will start to shake so violently that in order to maintain control I had to brake and pull to the side of the road. This happened several times in a day and I took the truck into a ford dealer in minnesota. This dealership put a dampener on the front end and I thought it was solved. However, the problem has started again in jan of 2013. This is a very serious shake and I feel it will cause a accident if not resolved.
While driving at approximately 75MPH on an interstate; after hitting a bump or expansion joint the front end wobbles uncontrollably until the speed is reduced by about half. I had a trusted mechanic look at my truck and he said all front end parts were in good condition and tight. He talked to a dealer who recommended replacing the steering damper as a cure for the "death wobble" issue. I had that replaced around the first of february 2021.
