F 350 Shake

I have a 93 F 350 4 x 4, crew cab, long box 7.3 diesel, when going down the road sometimes I will hit a bump and the whole truck suddenly feels like it is shaking apart. I have replace the ball joints, tie rod ends, king pins and this helped but on accasion it still does it. Any ideas what to try????

I had his problem on my 2wd F350 and installing an aftermarket steering stabilizer helped. My problem turned out to be a loose steering box. If your truck has a stabilizer, I would check it first.

I've heard everything from shocks, tires, and toe setting on the F350 death wobble.

A place called WC Motorsport claims to have come up with "the cure" but it only addresses 05 and up Super Duty. They re-designed the track bar mounts.

It is also common to blame the track bar bushings on the older trucks like ours. Best I can tell you is check ALL your bushings, including leafsprings and shackle assys, track bar bushings, shocks, steering box adjustment, and tires.

edited because sometimes I spell not so gud.

Could also be something as simple as loose lug nuts. I had a tire do this to me on my old Dodge. Turned out that the belts were seperating. Let us know what you find. Good luck
