Vibration in Steering Wheel....???

2006 F350 5.4 122k miles Auto 2wd

Truck drives fine until you reach highway speeds....

55 mph No Problem

65 mph Very slight vibration in steering wheel

75 mph Substantial vibration in steering wheel


So far I have....

1..Balanced and rotated tires (twice)

2..Replaced Steering Damper

3..Front end appears tight...no in and out movement of front wheels when lifted....Ball joints appear to be tight


Where do I go from here? Love the truck...dont love a shakey steering wheel.....


Thanks for any info !!!!!!!

That sounds like a balance problem to me! I would try a different balance shop or possibly a shop that can road thrust balance!

Yes Sir, you were right.

Went to different shop for 3rd attempt to balance....they said all 4 tires out of balance.... I said $#^##$%%^# !!!!

Finally got the balance right....now smooth sailing.........

I'm glad you got taken care of! So many tire shops can't figure out how to correctly balance a truck tire it's unbelievable!
