wierd vibration

I just bought my 04 f350 and it developed a vibration after a crack. ive looked over everything and cant see anything vibrating. it vibrates with the rpms of the motor, i can make it stop by turning the wheels one direction or the other. its really bad when the brakes are on, and when rocking the truck the noise will stop also. im completely confused on what it could be. please help.

Welcome to FTE reylings

I guess I am confused, after a crack? When the engine is idling it runs rough?

Stay away from crack!

Problem solved.

Sorry.

You might want to explain what you meant by crack. But I'm thinking hydro-boost pump.

all of the above. sitting still in park, reverse, neutral, and drive. rocking the steering wheel and rocking the entire truck. but if i turn the steering wheel far enough to both sides the vibrations stop.
