I HAVE A 2006 F350 THAT HAS WHAT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS THE DEAF WOBBLE. MOSTLY WHEN I DRIVE BETWEEN 40 - 55 IF THE TRUCK COMES ACROSS A SMALL BUMP OR UNEVEN ROAD THE FRONT WHEELS / STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY I FOUND IT TO STOP IT IS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPS AND THEN YOU CAN TRY IT AGAIN UNTIL THE WOBBLE COMES BACK. ALSO THIS TRUCK IS COMPLETELY STOCK NOT AFTER MARKET PARTS HAVE BEEN ADDED, NO LIFTS ETC. *TR
