So am I.

I was starting to think I had a bearing going out on the front axle, I'm not so sure now. I've gone through the u-joints, front wheel bearing assy's and hubs and have not noticed anything... -other than the fact that the guy who replaced my L-side upper/lower ball joints failed to put all the thrust washers back in the hub/wheel bearing assy. - Will be correcting that this weekend. Hopefully this addresses my issue.

I really thought the sonnax would have gotten rid of it, it didnt. Then tranny took a dump and needed a rebuild. Got that done but that quirk is still there. If I would just drive faster, I would never notice it LOL.

So, we have a 2006 F150 with a vibration in the steering wheel at about 50-60mph - any clues? We have had it at the dealership in Kansas City three times and nothing is getting fixed - any ideas. Also, it seems the 4wd does not work at all. We tried it for the first time today and it does not engage. Anyone know of any good dealerships in KC? Thanks
