Another incident of a "death wobble" in the front end. Going down the hwy there is a significant wobble. Front end of truck shakes dangerously. Slowing to 20 mph resolves wobble but hitting a bump in the rd initiates this wobble again. This wobble has actually caused my truck to pull into another lane. I have had the alignment checked as well as new tires and balancing. Ball joints and other parts replaced. This is a factory issue and Ford has failed to address with owners. Deaths are a certain outcome if not finally addressed. Latest episode was last night but has been going on for years.
