front end issue
hey guys,
2007 F250XL 4x4 16800 miles. Just wondering if any of you have this problem. When i hit a bump on the freeway, my truck starts shaking so bad tht I lose control of it until I slow down. It doesn't do this all the time, but when it does it, it's bad and very dangerous. Dealership says it the air pressure, I say that BS.
Does anyone have this problem? Hope not.
Jason

They are referring to the "death wobble" occasionally found on these trucks. Oftentimes incorrect air pressures can cause this problem. Pressures need to be what is indicated on your Tire & Load Data sticker, unless you have installed tires of a different size.
Chances are, your problem is something else, but it pays to check the tire pressures before going any further.
