The front shock absorber bushings are cracked and deteriorating . . Ford will replace them under warranty because they state that the cracked bushing can affect steering, handling and braking . . If the bushings fall apart suddenly the driver of the vehicle can lose control and crash and kill someone. . My service advisor said he has mever seen the problem before. . Being curious I looked at other vehicles on the lot. . Every single f250 and f350 vehicle I looked at had the same problem. . Even the new ones with zero miles had cracked bushings. . It looks like they will fall apart and fail just after the warranty ends. A failed bushing can cause all sorts of steering ans stabilty issues . I thought someone might like to know about this. . Im glad I noticed the cracked bushings before the warranty expires.

When driving at highway speeds and hit a bump in road or going over a bridge and driving over the bridge joints the front wheels/suspension go into an almost uncontrollable bounce/wobble. Best way I can describe the issues is as if your tires were over inflated and the shock absorbers were missing. Vehicle has 48,000 miles and has been doing this occasionally for approximately the last 20,000 miles. This is a 2nd vehicle and gets driven mostly on highway. When googling whether Ford F-250's have shock absorber issues, I ran into many reports of this wobble issue.

Let me start by saying that my truck does not have any aftermarket changes - it is completely stock/oem. At highway speeds (60mph+), the front end of my truck sometimes shudders severely after going over small road surface changes such as joints/seams in the highway. At first it only occurred during sweeping highway turns, but it has progressed to happening on straights as well. The shudder is so severe that the steering wheel nearly shakes out of my hands and things in the stowage spots on the doors are shaken out. I now have to slow to <30mph in order to settle the front end which is obviously extremely dangerous to have to suddenly do on a highway. The initial event occurred at roughly 80k miles and only happened a few times a year. I now have 130k miles and the problem has occurred 3 times within the last month. I've recently replaced all shock absorbers and the steering dampener, had an alignment and the tires balanced and rotated - to no avail. The truck is currently in the shop where they are trying to identify the specific problem but have told me this is relatively common among Ford super duty trucks. After doing some research online I have found numerous online communities discussing this problem that has apparently been occurring with Ford super duty trucks for over a decade and is still occurring on new units with as few as 15k miles.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-250 sd. While driving various speeds over a bump in the road, the front end of the vehicle wobbled very violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions for a diagnostic testing and repair. The contact stated that the ball joints, shock absorbers, and other unknown components were replaced or repaired by the dealer, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

When driving on a freeway at 65 mph, the truck encountered a slight bump and the front end started shaking violently, including the steering wheel shaking back and forth violently. The truck wandered out of the lane due to loss of control of the steering. The shaking only stopped after slowing to about 35 mph. The failure repeated itself a few minutes later before I could pull off the highway. This occurred previously (6 months / 3000 miles ago). The Ford dealer suggested I take the vehicle to an independent suspension mechanic. He inspected the truck and said all the front end components were fine but he noted that the steering damper had about a 1" dead zone. On his recommendation I replaced the steering damper and the factory shock absorbers. . Read more...

2006 F-250 super duty crew cab short bed with 5. 4l front end has a bad vibration/rattle when speed exceeds 60 mph. I drive 15 minutes to work each day on the highway and during my travels I bet whether or not the rattle and vibration will show up while en route. I notice the rattle even at low speeds in town especially on patched roads or pot hole type dips. At high speeds the vibration may last for 5 miles or more or it may clear up in a few hundred feet depending on how the next bump in the road strikes the front tires. I share the sentiment of other that have reported this problem that is an issue if you cannot maintain the minimum highway speed safely in your vehicle. Ford needs to investigate the issue. Whether its bad harmonics with certain shock absorbers, to hard of tires, front hub assembly bearing issues,toe and camber adjustments getting messed up, etc. There has got to be a component or set of related items causing what we all are experiencing.
