F250 Sttering Wheel Shake
I have a 2001 F250 SuperDuty Diesel 2WD. I recently have noticed a substantial shake in my steering wheel between 30 and 45 mph. I tried rotaing and balancing all tires and changed out the front shocks - still have same issue. I also had a little play in one bearing and tightened the bearing retaining nut up slightly to reduce this loosenes - Still no luck on steering wheel shake. Since the truck has 200K+ miles I am going to also get the front rotors trued, replace the front hub bearings and seals, and put on new rear shocks - I have not done these items on the truck since I bought it new in 2001. Note: I do have to commute down a real bumpy dirt road once and a while. Any one have any past experiance with this type of issue and/or possible things to check?

Recently my 2003 developed a "steering wheel vibration" on rough roads. I noticed front tire pressures were down to 43-45 psi . I pumped them up to my usual 60 psi (Ford recommends 50 psi) and it is gone . Check your tire pressures first and good luck .

I would replace the damper with this one: Bilstein shocks and struts for cars and trucks - Shockwarehouse.com
