2005 Ford f250 with approximately 19,100 miles. Original factory tires, suspension- no modifications. Tire pressure set to factory door label specs. On Monday, 8-19-2019 while on I-95, travel speed at about 60 m. P. H. , I drove over a bridge expansion joint & the entire truck started shaking violently. Steering wheel was vibrating/shaking making it difficult for me to maintain control of the truck in my established lane and nearly took out several cars in the adjacent lanes nearly causing multi-vehicle collision. Went on the internet & found thousands of similar complaints regarding this same issue I just experienced. Later found out it is called harmonic resonance a. K. A. The death wobble. This dangerous situation affects not only the driver and the passengers in the defective vehicle, but to other unsuspecting motorist's and their passengers whom share the same roadways.
I was driving down a main st, going about 35 mph. . . When I hit a bump the truck would shake violently and the steering wheel was also shaking violently , I had it diagnosed as the drag link ball joint and an upper ball joint both on the passenger side front. . . I got a letter in the mail from Ford just yesterday about the shimmy/shaking issue, the letter states that it is due to tire pressure in which I believe to be very wrong!!.
