Front end wobble

Voodoo · Nov 19, 2012

Well the last week or so I have been driving my personal truck to work and noticed it dont drive the same. I took to the tire shop and had a new set of General Red letters put on and it still does the same thing. When on the highway at speed if I hit any deformity on the road all hell breaks loose in the steering wheel and if in a turn the truck will go strait. I looked over the front end and did not notice anything a miss but when I was getting the tires they did notice a oil leak off the transmission. it is going in to Ford today but still am curious to what the vibration could be. Any takers on the subject to what it could be?

What perch are you on? Top feels jumpy/chattery to me over small defects on the road.

Sounds like its time for some RPG

Sounds like it is time for some vehicle maintenance. Throwing on aftermarket parts won't help a lot of the time. I would have the front end checked out by a reputable shop. Usually, it is ball joints or tie rods on a arm trucks. Have those checked before you throw more parts at it in hopes of fixing the issue.

First thing I’d check for is any loose parts, second alignment.

It is at the dealer now so soon we shall see. it was in need of tires so thats where I started and getting 4 general red letters, mounted and balanced for 1100 bucks out the door I could not pass that up

nothing was loose and while not having it on a rack the wheel is perfectly centered and drives strait as a arrow.

Sounds like SDHQ was spot on in their diagnosis of the situation you described.
