2013 Ford F-350 Suspension Problems

“While driving in excess of 55 MPH on all road surfaces the front end will randomly go into a violent front end wobble. The vehicle shakes violently as to throw heavy items from the door pockets and prevent steering the vehicle. We have replaced a suspected steering components with no remedy. We understand that a similar issue with this vehicle occurred in a later model truck and has been recalled. Our mechanic has nicknamed this wobble a death wobble.”

Had no control of the shake and when applied brakes the truck kept shaking until I could come to a complete stop. Contacted repair shop and they informed me that the condition is referred to as the 'death wobble'. Ford knows of the issue but has not done anything to remedy this issue. Parts affected and were replaced are track bar assembly and passenger side ball joint”

“I was driving approximately 56 miles per hour on a highway when I experienced a horrible wobble of the front end of the truck. I immediately stopped and took it to the nearest dealer who told me that they did not know what could have caused this. They replaced almost all components in the front end of the truck including the track bar, stabilizer, bearings, and all associated bushings. Several days later I was driving on a different road around 60 miles per hour and experienced the same issue.”

“My Ford f350 super duty 4wd has had the front end rebuilt 3 times for what is commonly called the death wobble . Driving at highway speeds of 60 to 75 MPH on straight dry pavement the front end wheels will start an oscillating and up and down movement that is so violent that it is difficult to hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking of the vehicle is so pronounced that items fly out of door pockets, the console and cup holders. Vehicles behind me and next to me are forced to apply their brakes in an emergency response to a possible collision. …”

This situation occurred twice in one day.”
