When I'm driving at speeds of 65 to 70 and go over a bump in road the steering wheel shakes out of control. I had brought it back to dealer to have serviced and they told me "there is no problem, that's what you get from a heavy duty truck. " what a load of crap! I have paper work documenting the truck went to dealer for steering out of control. Since then the shaking has caused me to replace ball joints and other parts trying to stop the problem. This shouldn't happen on new vehicle, much less one that costs $45. 000. This really makes me mad.
Front end shimmy on Ford f350 4x4 crew cab dully, production year 2005. At about 40 mph when the vehicle hits a bump the front end starts to shake. The feed back through the steering wheel tries to shake the steering wheel out of the drivers hands. This vehicle has had the front stabilizer shock changed, the left side drag link changed and the front end re-aligned. This problem has been continuing since the vehicle as had approx 40,000 miles. Currently the vehicle has 90k. I have been told that the shimmy is caused by the tire pressure, tires worn, front end wear, ect.
