2016 F250 6.7 4x4

Has anyone had issues with "wandering" or fighting to keep their truck in a lane at highway speeds? Its not horrible but I've had a couple white knuckle moments in mine, both with a trailer and without.

yup, check out youtube. Look for "Steering/Death Wobble and Rancho shocks on a Ford Super Duty"

No lift, all stock. It is nothing like those videos, the steering gets light and it moves around on its own sometimes.

crap!! I have 375 on my 2016 F250 Lariat FX4. It has Rancho shocks as part of the FX4 Package but it isn't lifted. Haven't noticed any wobble at all......praying it stays that way.

It was worse with the Continentals that came on the truck, now have Toyo's and still happens-pressures are at what the door jamb stickers recommends.

Almost sounds like a bad steering box it shouldn't get light. Unless your front tires aren't touching the ground. Then you'd have other issues i'd say.

Yes. Similar issue with my 2016 F250. Has the FX4 package and factory wheels/tires. I've had in 2 different Ford garages. 1st shop, 1st visit they told me it had aftermarket parts on suspension and they couldn't work on it. 1st shop, 2nd visit they told me there was nothing wrong with it but admitted it had a wobble. 2nd shop also recognized the wobble but said they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

I believe the dual wheel F350 & the F450 come with a steering stabilizer so I'm considering a Rough Country steering stabilizer kit. Any thoughts?

This is a brand new truck, right? Why aren't you taking it back to the dealership and have them figure it out and fix whatever it is under warranty?

Yes it had Continentals, it is for sure an F250.

I have had it back to the dealership once, they did a quick alignment check (toe and caster are correct), need an appointment for a full check. They did say it sounded like camber might be off.

The full alignment check is next on the list, wanted to know if anyone else had the same issue before I went in....

Camber? Really? That's...not adjustable on these trucks I don't think. Maybe I'm wrong.

IIRC someone (???) makes a camber kit so to speak to take of this exact problem.You might want to check into that. there's no way in hell i would accept this activity as "normal"
