yea those split front ends are horrible on the f150's. mine did the same thing but mine was a 4x4. The only thing that i found that fixed it was to make sure the tires are balanced really good and that the radius arm brackets and the a arm brackets are tight because mine would loosen up on me.

Also could be cracked frame where steerig box mounts.

And could easily be bad shocks.

poor excuse for a joke i know
my mom's tarus shook the steering wheel like that but that was only when you hit the brakes on acount of a bent rotor. probably doesnt help much but could be somthing to check.

My guess is the tire balance. Rotate the fronts to the rear and see what happens. No cash, just time.
