2010 Ford F-250 Suspension Problems

“When traveling at highway speed and I hit a bump or ripple truck will vibrate violently causing potential loss of control. I must reduce speed immediately to gain control and stop the vibration”

“Driving on the highway at speeds between 65-75 MPH, when you hit a bump, or any rough patch of road, the truck shakes violently in the front end. I have heard this referred to as the 'death wobble'. This has been happening periodically over the years I have owned the truck. Despite new tires, alignment, shocks, brakes, etc., the truck still has this wobble. There are two spots on the highway I travel within 15 minutes of my house this happens every time I drive the truck. Both are where the road transitions to a bridge overpass.”

“Periodic loss of control due to extreme shimmy otherwise known as the Ford death wobble. Although the truck is a 2010 it now has 40,463 miles, has no off road use, tires kept balanced and rotated per Ford service, has been treated like a baby and is still in excellent condition. The problem started occurring around 30,000 miles. At unpredictable times the front of the truck will violently start shaking at speeds above about 50 MPH. I have run into a ditch while trying to regain control, other times have swerved out of my lane of traffic. …”

I applied the breaks to slow the truck down. It took all the stregnth I had in my arms to keep the truck on the road. When at approx 35mph the shaking finally subsided. …”

“About 6 months after the purchase of my 2010 Ford f250 king ranch 4x4 my truck began to have serious shimming in the front in when I would hit bumps on highways. This schim is listed as the death wobble on many websites. I have had the front end repaired 3 times and going on the fourth time today when I took the truck in for service. I spoke to my service manager and asked if he knew of a permanent fix and he spoke to the shop foreman and advised me they can only fix this problem tempoarily. …”
