death wobble cured
well after changing shocks (bilsteins), putting in a pro comp steering stabilizer, i was out of ideas and took the truck to the dealer. come to find out i needed both driver side balljoints, and they put in a new bracket that relocates the stabilizer. well now the truck feels SUPER tight and drives great. finally happy with the truck. so for you that still have this problem look into this

cost was free, covered under warranty. i dont have a part number but it is a ford part. the guys at wayside ford in Marlborough mass have the best service dept in my area imho. could try calling there or try a local dealer. but the part is out there

I was still under warranty on my 05 250, had exhaust pipe replaced for rattling and ask about front end shake. They replaced the stabilizer with factory replacement and I saw where it was redesigned one.
If your truck is still under warrenty, complain on front end shake an all new kits should be the redesigned one

Your invoice should have any part numbers they used for the repair even under warranty.
I'd love to know more about the upgraded stabilizer. Any pictures of before and after? FTL40, can you post a pic of the new one?

I'd like to see some pics as well... guys in the know keep saying the location of the factory stab is all wrong.

I put on a rancho steering stabilizer about a year ago, but recently it doesn't seem like it does too much anymore. Interested in learning about relocating it and or making my truck not get thrown around by every rut, divet, or pothole in the road!
