What owners wrote
I have a 2006 ford f350 4 wheel drive single wheel long bed king ranch. I will be driving down the road or interstate anywhere between 30 and 80 miles an hour, and if you hit the smallest imperfections in the road the truck will start shaking violently, uncontrollable, the steering wheel moves about 14 inches side to side so fast and hard, that it takes ill I've got to hold on to the wheel. You can hear the tires chirp side to side on the pavement it wobbles so severely.
While driving along the hwy at approx 65MPH I ran across a patch of uneven road at which caused my 2006 f350 4x4 steering to shake violently I had to carefully pull over to the shoulder which was no small task as there was a lot of traffic the shaking would not stop until I was almost stopped this happened 4 times on different roads . The vehicle is stock not lifted and has oem tires. I am trying to find a fix but I am finding out this is a common problem for ford and they are unwilling to help fix.
