To bruce york and richard boyd I am so thankful someone is doing something about this problem. I know for a fact this situation with this steering problem far exceeds anything ford is willing to admit. My case; I have owned my 2005 ford f-350 king ranch 4x4, VIN #, sense february 11, 2005. This truck has earned its two nicknames, rhubarb express and #!*% piece of #@^%$. This truck has been nothing but a nightmare for our family.
I have a 2005 ford f-350 pick up truck. I have had a problem with severe vibrations since shortly after I purchased the vehicle. I have had the truck to the dealer many times for this problem without resolution. I recently received a letter from ford about this "shimmy" problem. The letter recommends maintaining tire pressure. Todate that has not resolved my problem.
