How to Fix the Ford F250 "Death Wobble"

What year did the F-250 have the death wobble?


As per a class-action lawsuit initiated in 2019, Ford F250 and F350 super duty trucks spanning from 2005 to 2019 are susceptible to encountering the "death wobble."


The Cause:


The defect known as the Ford death wobble could stem from early deterioration or loosening of several components, including ball joints, control arms, track bar assemblies, damper brackets, or shocks.


What to do if your driving and this happens:


At the first sign of a death wobble vibration during your drive, the safest course of action is to gradually release the accelerator and coast to a stop in a secure location. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, refrain from applying the brakes, and strive to keep the vehicle on a straight path until it comes to a complete halt.


Cost to fix:


For example, expenses might be minimal, starting at $30 if it's merely a matter of tightening a loose bolt. Conversely, if the repair entails replacing several components such as ball joints and the track bar, the total expense for your Jeep's restoration could surpass $3,000 easily.
