My first death wobble

Just experience my first death wobble in my 2018 F250 6.7. Called the dealership and i have an appointment first thing monday morning. Drove over a bridge and my steering wheel went nuts. I had to slow down to almost a stop. Never thought I would experience it in a 2018 Ford. Everything is stock. Does it have to do with the wheels out of balance?

search "death wobble", you will have plenty to read. A couple of things may help: steering stabilizer, castor shims

Yea, good way to deflect the real problem... That will keep you away for a short while. If I ever buy another new ford, I would toss in some 2* caster cams right from the get go.
