Jeep Death Wobble Fixed, Same Solution for Ford?
It appears that Jeep also has a death wobble, and maybe they have found out the solution. It may be the same solution for Ford. Maybe this was old news, maybe not.

The notorious issue presents itself as a violent vibration at high speeds and is a common complaint among Jeep Wrangler owners. It has also been reported in vehicles from several brands that feature solid front axles, including heavy-duty pickups.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Jeep has tracked the issue on the latest generation of the Wrangler -- known as the JL – to the steering damper. The chief technical compliance officer, Mark Chernoby, told the paper that a design flaw allowed air to get in at cold temperatures, reducing vibration control at certain frequencies.
