I have always been into suspension and sat down and took some measurements and studied the suspesion and steering on the front end. I came up with a bad geometry problem with the factory stabilizer. The location it is installed causes it to do the opposit of what it is there for. being so close to the steering box causes bumps in the road to be able to manipulate the steering very easily. If you want to fix this buy a dual steering stabilizer and put in on the truck. Buy one that bolts onto the axle and attaches to the steering linkage between the front wheels. You will notice a difference. I promise. Ford needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Forget all the crap about checking your tires, shimming the steering linkage, or the replacing your steering wheel. The best kit I have found for this is the fabtech dual stabilizer kit. Hope this helps you man.
