“My f-250 super duty, has a severe front end shimmy at highway speed. My wife and I could have died in one instance,we had to move across two lanes to the shoulder as the truck bounced uncontrollably. I thought the tie rods were going to snap . This did not happen just once, but numerous times. Every time I approach a bridge deck, bump or pot hole I'm afraid the tuck may have a uncontrollable shimmy and losing control! You never know if the truck will have a slight,or severe shimmy,sometimes there is no shimmy at all. This is a problem that has to be rectified!!! …”
