You know you may be on to something with the excessive steering wheel feed back as a result of pitman arm angle.... I have not had deathwoble. I have a 2 wd and i get excessive chatter going over expansion joins on the freeways of houston. No wobble, just excessive feedback and a loose feeling at certain points as my suspension articulates up and down. It bumpsteers like a 92 chevy s-10 lowrider with cut coil springs. I have looked at the angle of my pitman arm, and i can tell you on my 2 wd its like the tip of the pitman should have angled up, instead of just being flat. My idler arm is at the same angle as the joint at the pitman. Its like it holds the joints on the centerlink at an odd angle in relation to the tie rods. As my steering wheel is cut left to right the centerlink arches kind of “wildly” and causes the inner tie rods to arch up and down as well as side to side. I realize there will be “some” up and down movement because of the disign of the steering, it just seems like the twist is excessive compared to other steering systems ive seen as well as worked on. It gives my steering damper bushings a work out as well because as it cuts left to right it physically twists the damper on its mounts. It is for sure not a smooth transition in the steering joints as they cut back and forth. When you guys with the 4x4 cut your wheel back and forth is there excessive arcing on the steering linkage attached to your pitman or does it articulate smoothly?

no sir, but i would expect them to put something on good enough for ooooh i dont know...75k miles? And i agree the OEM shock absorbers are garbage. Once they heat up they are soft and floppy. My truck drives best the first 15 minutes of 75mph on my trip to work. After that it starts chattering on every road surface irregularity. Bilstein has the 4600 coming out in march. Im either going to try those, or if rancho comes out with a 9k rear application for a 2 wd, then i will try those due to their adjustability.

Whats going to be bad for business is when somone gets killed. Manufactures turn out beautiful, overpriced, rolling garbage now adays. There is no consistency in quality. Its like you either get a good one or you get a bad one. Its not just domestic either. The new imports are plagued with quality control issues. Maybe i “see” more of the bad because i work in different dealerships daily, and im often in the service dept, but i dont know....they all have a whole lot of problems. In my life i have purchased 8 brand new vehicles. Not 1 real problem with numbers 1 - 6......7 and 8 which have both been in the last 4 years....... MEH

The shocks may not be “great” but after putting on Fox 2.0 shocks on my ‘17 F250 I only noticed a small improvement.

That’s a little surprising as most members that have posted changing over to the Fox 2.0’s commented that the new shocks made a significant difference. What changes or lack of change have you noticed?

The truck seems a little more composed over bumps, but doesn’t ride “smoother.” If anything, it’s stiffer. I can see the Fox shocks are certainly made better and wouldn’t overheat as easily, but certainly didn’t notice anything earth shattering.

Keep in in mind when people spend a decent amount of money, of course they want to feel like their money was well spent.
