I am the original owner of a 2009 ford f350 srw diesel crew cab.at approximately 70,000 miles i began to experience a strong front end vibration; death wobble. When i go over uneven roads at speeds above 55 mph.the vibration is so great that the steering wheel requires a tight hold to keep control of the truck.the vibration continues until i slow down to around 40 mph.this becomes even scarier when i am on a freeway fly over that turns and i hit an expansion joint.the truck shakes and tries to push away from the turn.i took my truck to the dealer on four occasions.the first visit they said they could not duplicate the problem and that i needed new tires.i bought new tires and it did not correct the problem.i took it back the second time and they changed out the ball joints, tie rods, steering damper, did a front end alignment and balanced my wheels.it seemed to work for a short time until a part fell off the front end of my truck and hit another one behind me in the car pool lane.i took it back to the dealer to find out what i lost.i was told a part fell off but they did not work near it.funny thing, it began to vibrate again after that.i recently took it back and talked to the technician before i left the truck so he would understand what it was doing.he took it for a drive but did not get it to vibrate as i reported to him.he told me that my truck drives just like all f350's without a load.i have put my slide in camper in the bed of my truck, 3,500 lbs. And it still vibrates violently.i think that would be considered a load and it truly feels like a death wobble as described by many internet postings. The ford rep i spoke to said they are not aware of any problems.i am in the process of filing a formal complaint with ford.
When driving about 55 mph and hit a bump front end shakes violently.(known as the death wobble).has happened 3 times in past month. We will be taking it to mechanic.afraid to drive it.
Hit road bump & the 'death wobble' occurred causing the truck to shake uncontrollably & force us to the side of the road.i took it to ford dealership & they quoted me over $7k to fix virtually everything suspension related.i took it 2 local diesel mechanics who eventually fixed it after replacing apx $700 in parts.the part that fixed it was the track bar ball joint & track bar bushing.in searching online amongst ford enthusiast as well as other diesel truck owners....this is a scary, dangerous & somewhat common problem.fords response in a lot of instances is that tire pressure, tire wear, etc... Is their common response.all i know is with as many guys that i've seen had this, this is a design flaw that is dangerous.if someone hasn't been killed because of this already, i'd be shocked.
