“I have a 2006 Ford f250 super duty 4x4 pick up w/ 61.00 miles , that has a death wobble when driving over 45 MPH. I have replaced both hubs and seals, shocks, steering damper, stabilizer bar links and inner & outer tie rods. Have had the tires balanced twice and a front end alignment. Does this fall under a recall? I have seen service bulletins on this. They seem to have replaced the same parts that I did. Is there a fix, as this is very dangerous? This death wobble happens every day, smooth or rough roads.”

I bought this vehicle to tow a 14,000 lb. Fifth wheel trailer and I am glad it was not attached.. It turned out that the problem was the stc fitting. …”
