"Death wobble" has plagued solid axle vehicles for decades. While it affects the steering, the most likely source is axle alignment. Increasing the amount of positive caster on the front axle will help the tires maintain a given trajectory. This is exactly like a shopping cart that has a wheel that shakes instead of tracking smoothly in the same direction as the cart. Instead of being perfectly straight up and down with zero caster, or worse-negative caster, the wheels need to travel at an angle pointing downward at the rear of the axle. Dealerships likely aren't double checking the alignment of each vehicle before they leave the lot. The mechanics at the dealerships have to set every Super Duty according to the service manual, which is probably at just a couple degrees positive caster but likely has a range of plus or minus around one degree, which is enough of a tolerance that some vehicles will not track properly once pushed to a given limit. Even if test driven the combination of just the right impact, speed, drag, and other conditions may not be able to exhibit a possible future death wobble event. Death wobble occurs because of conditions causing it so if it happens, change the way you were driving when it started. If it only happens when you go over 60 mph slow down. If it happens after making a quick steering correction steer more gently. It can be a scary experience but you can often drive out of it in that moment and make it to a safe place to pull over or a shop that can fix the problem. The more you drive with the problem the worse it will get because the vibration will be increasing the rate of wear. A steering stabilizer with more resistance will help but it is only masking the problem. The alignment needs to be changed. Super Duty suspension uses a non-adjustable radius rod but the fix has been around since leaf springs were still used in front suspensions. A degree shim will change the angle at which the pinion points just like changing the pinion angle of a rear leaf pack after raising or lowering the suspension to correct the driveshaft angle. Any vehicle with modified suspension will need to have its steering geometry adjusted. Simply changing tire size from say a 31" diameter to a 37" diameter will usually need closer to five degrees of positive caster to make up for the change. If the suspension is lifted the angles become more drastic, requiring even closer tolerances to avoid affectations. The next likely cause is usually for lifted vehicles where the Panhard Rod is no longer cycling at the same angle as the drag link. If the two are at differing angles by enough of a factor vertical suspension cycling, like driving over a bump, will induce the entire axle shifting to one side, which can also result in death wobble, especially if other geometry is not properly aligned. Toe that is set too far in or out can also contribute but usually doesn't cause death wobble. If the toe is too far out the steering will tend to wander. Too far in and the you get what is called oversteer, where it becomes hard to control the vehicle because it steers too quickly. Camber is more likely to have similar issues to toe than caster and likely won't be related to a death wobble issue but will be evident in tire wear when the inner or outer tread of a tire is wearing more significantly than the other. Similarly, a tire or wheel that is out of round, cracked, has belt separation or is even a little out of balance can also make any vehicle shake even just in the front end. The difference with death wobble is that the steering wheel will be rapidly turning right to left, not just vibrating. A road force balancer like a Hunter GSP9700 is an excellent tool for tracking down whether an issue is in a tire or a wheel. Some vehicles ride better with a dynamic balance, others static. Vibration in the front end that occurs only during braking is likely brake related. Wear on steering and suspension parts can also result in death wobble. If a 2011 truck is being "investigated" in 2020 for a condition that only recently started, any half decent mechanic is going to check for worn parts. Tie rod ends, wheel bearings, steering stabilizers, shock absorbers, tires, and bushings all wear with use. It doesn't mean a vehicle is no longer any good, it just needs to be maintained. Yes, Jeeps, Dodge Rams, older Chevy and other front end solid axle vehicles can experience this problem regardless of the type of suspension used because it is a geometry issue more than a design issue. It is usually only the ones that experience extreme wear without maintenance or the ones that don't get properly aligned that have this particular death wobble problem. And all steering and suspension components on IFS vehicles wear too but because a solid axle provides a solid connection from the driver's side tire to the passenger side tire when one is affected so is the other, resulting in a tug-o-war like wobble between the two front tires. Unless your vehicle has rear steer you won't have this problem on a rear axle because the axle is fixed, it doesn't steer. Solid axles have advantages including strength and being able to support heavier loads and they have fewer parts at constantly changing angles which usually means comparatively reduced wear. IFS tends to wear tires more irregularly since the opposing tire travels independently. Another advantage to a solid axle is usually better traction on and off road since one side rising creates more downward force on the opposite side, resulting in more traction to the tire receiving the additional weight. Combined with an anti-sway bar this generally results in greater lateral stability of the vehicle. The increased stability can result in rougher ride as the suspension adjusts for side to side swaying. Overall, the bigger and tougher a vehicle needs to be, the more likely it is to have a solid axle not just in the rear but in the front as well. Unfortunately, most modern mechanics only know what a shop manual or a computer scan via OBDII is telling them so the knowledge of how to diagnose and fix these issues can be harder to find. If your F-350, Jeep Unlimited, or Ram 2500 has death wobble find a decent alignment shop and discuss how much positive caster you may need to fix the problem. Make sure they check not just steering components, but the suspension as well since changing alignment in the suspension as it cycles while driving is the most likely source.

Ikr, i was like hey! Copy cats! Lol. I have had 9 Jeep Cherokees all lifted and only one didnt get the wobble. Thats only due to preventive measures. Was almost plowed down by a semi in the highway when my daily driver Cherokee started wobble at about 70mph out of nowhere while I was in fast lane if course. I have experienced this many times and know what to do (usually). This time however i could do NOTHING! not only was wheel shaking so violently i struggled with every bit of my strength to keep my hand on in a futile attempt o stay in my lane of heavy mornin commuter traffic. Out of any whatsoever control i lacked in the universe my jeep steadily and (thankfully just quick enough)directly pulled me into the slow lane and on to the shoulder where it finally had decelerted enough to engage the brakes literally a millisecond before an 18wheeler, with no signs of slowing down whizzed by my possessed Jeep so fast i felt the slam of wind in mybody and ears sending me into to violent tears at the true near death I could have had. Appropriately name Death wobble is something Jeep peeps almost speak of as just a laughable quirk you will eventually experience. Why is this? I too, b4 this, had a "it's a Jeep thing, yoy wouldnt understand" shrug your shoulder no biggy attitude about it. But wow. Why do we not demand the manufacturers do something to atleast reduce the wear on the track bar, idk beef up materials out of the factory, or something. I know puttin a lift on increases this and wheelin yeah yeah blah blah blah blah, but these fords i doubt are due to upgrades like that and seem to be just to common for hwy only drivers. Not only could this be life threatening to the driver of a death wobbler but to the drivers around you. Has no one died or had a pretty near fatal accident because of this? Maybe we won't know because they arent alive to tell of it. And my second question is, is the ford wobble possibly due to track bar or what?

Ford tech here... we have this all the time Ford says “the extreme steering oscillation starting from a bump in the road” (which the death wobble starts) “ is caused by the steering dampening shock being faulty or worn out”. Tsb (tech service bulletin) says to replace said dampener with an upgraded one (dampener also has extended warranty). Folks that is not the only issue the track bars ball joint can also cause this. To replace the ball joint you need to replace the whole bare it’s all one piece. Ford says up to 2mm of play is normal in that ball joint. I like NO PLAY in ball joints. If you have had the dampener replaced and it still does it replace that track bar as well. If it still does it after that you need more positive caster angle. If you do all three that truck will not ever death wobble until parts are worn out again

@ladamyre13 жыл бұрын
It's a front suspension issue without a doubt. I've worked on cars all my life. I'm a retired ASE Master Tech with factory training in P/steering and advanced engine, transmission and powertrain management systems as well as brake and suspension systems and this is obviously a sympathetic vibration situation: parts tuned to magnify the smallest input until it cascades into this kind of vibration. I'm not a Ford critic, when I retired I bought a Mercury Marauder and today drive a 2009 Grand Marquis and I just had the transmission overhauled: It has 177 thousand miles on it and it's a keeper in my opinion because I know how it's built. But that suspension was done on the cheap and any knowledgeable technician can see it. The old F150 drag-link on I-beam style front suspension from the 1960's was as solid as the rock of Gibraltar: nothing could hurt it. And if the parts got worn out, the design was such that until something broke off, it was stable at any speed. There was only one problem, and you would know if you've been a Ford Truck man as long as you say. When the front suspension bounced up and down it would change the geometry of the front tires such that you'd have to correct it at the steering wheel. This suspension is different. When it's new and all the joints are tight there's no problem. But let a few of the joints get some wear and loosen up a bit, a sympathetic vibration starts that might not be too noticeable at first, but causes the wear to increase until it gets like this "death wobble". This Ford isn't the only one to do it. There have been several trucks and even a few cars that have had this happen, and it ALWAYS boils down to the design of the suspension. It's an engineering mistake that I, and many others have attributed to cost cutting on the part of the manufacturer in the design phase that escaped detection in early testing. Once into full manufacturing, the cost of fixing this can be in the hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. So the car company does what it does best: It hides under legal procedures.

This happened to me in my 2016 250 short cab long bed. Set up as a plow truck, the front end takes a beating. Having the crappie tires it came with at 8000 miles the toe adjust was out and the outer edges of the tread were very worn.between 70 and 80 I was passing a vehicle around a corner on a very skinny road, but a very bumpy one. It freaked me out tremendously! I treated my sudden panicked situation as a front tire blowout, but when I stopped to investigate, nothing seemed amiss. I recreated the condition several times to proof to myself I wasn't crazy. So instead of suing, I put new tires on the truck, which it was really ready for despite the mileage. To me it's my you need tires reminder at this point. I can't speak for everyone on this, only my experience. You buy an 80000 dollar king ranch, shitty tires or not, hitting the right bump at the right speed shouldn't turn a 8400 pound vehicle into a tooth breaker.

looking at the Date on the video and the model year of trucks actually looked at they're almost all 2nd gen 6.7s and a couple 3rd gen 6.7s the 2011-2016 body style. seems to me these guys have worn out front suspension parts and their truck ran out of warranty a while ago and they're chasing free repair or free money to fix it. and most of the "death wobble" is caused from either A. Lifting the truck. B. wearing out the front suspenion working the truck too hard and lack of maintence i.e plow truck and you dont grease any of the bajillion grease serts on the underside. or C. truck runs out of Factory warrenty and joe smoe though't it'd be cool not maintaining it beyond that until issues pop up then blame the maker. my first truck is a 2005 F250 harley davidson Edition owned it for about 2 years stock ride height no death wobble at 208,000 miles. newest one yet. 2019 F250 platinum recently got it 60k miles. and its got a small lift slightly larger tires. i grease the serts bout every 6 months. people are just chasing free money for free repairs because the engineers aren't good enough to build something that can last forever and never need oil changes or grease or lube changed on anything. or tires that last forever.

I gave them my vin number and they told me there was no recall on my vin or model. Then i received a letter 2 weeks later stating the death wobble issue on certain models. The letter states might be a tire inflation issue. Make sure you have correct air pressure on all four tire. If you continue having this issue go to your local dealer. Took it to the dealer and they took it for a test drive and couldn't get that same reaction. I decided to change the shocks. It help a little but when i hit a bump on the road it goes out of control and then vibrates. The weird part about my truck it happen at certain times. I hope ford can find a solution to this issue.

I've seen over the years many people dumping hundreds plus into brand new to 25 year old Ford trucks with the death wobble only to end up abandoning it due to it being such a bad issue. I experienced the death wobble in a brand new 2016 F150 and a 1997 F350 with 580k miles on it. My 95 F150 was just tie rods, however the 2016 F150 had to be sent back to engineering at Ford. I always wondered how this problem can be so hard to diagnose and sometimes such a simple fix.

Hi William, I have a 95 F150 and my front passenger side starts to shake or more like a bounce. I don't drive it often , I replaced all the tires and it seemed to stop but just started again, I can hardly go over 30mph and barely made it home , same thing it did before the new Michelin's. the right side front hub gets real hot too. Are these the same symptoms you had? I am going to look at the linkages next. Ill check the tie rods as you did and see. I know parking for long lengths of time can cause tires to go bad but I don't think its the tires, i drive the truck every couple months. I have about 200 miles on these tires. When it happens it starts out slow and then within a few miles I can hardly control the truck over 25 MPH.

I’ve been a technician for 49 years , and have an advanced certification in Hunter’s Alignment machine, the fix for this issue is to lower the caster specs on the front end. Take veh to the alignment machine and modified the caster ( lower the caster 1 degree of factory spec) and problem solved.
@bobborkowski12313 жыл бұрын
I agree with Charlie. I took my 2016 F350 to the Ford dealer for the “death wobble”. They installed after market caster/camber alignment kits. This allowed them to make changes in caster and eliminated the wobble. What was upsetting was they would not fix the problem under warranty. I had to pay for the kits, installation, and alignment.

Those that have experienced it, know it's difficult to maintain its balance when the motorcycle is freaking jumping on you and you go into the air. And some ppl are unlikely to survive that, sadly. I experienced it once and luckily I'm still here. Scared the shit out of me though. For that truck that seems like a simple fix my gfs car had the same issue and we fixed it in one day. :)

Almost wrecked and took out three other cars and a truck. One guy pulled over and told me. He never seen a front end just give way like that. He offered to follow me home. To make sure I made it safely home. Got off at the next exit. Had a mechanic look at it. Ball joints just went. All in one shot . Had to replace both joints. $550. I asked the mechanic.

With you Mark. Ford knows about it and tries to squelch it since the engineers have no fix. I have a 2010 with the same issue. It's called Resonance Vibration (kinda like Galloping Gertie) after hitting a bump at between 70 and 80 just right, it causes the axle to pivot left and right up and down like mad till the Rosonance Vibration works it's way out. Going below 60 will keep it from happening. The only fix I've found is to add a secondary OIL (oil has more resistance then gas) shock absorber or convert to air shocks to help cancel fast up and down motion.

Worn tires, low tire pressure, worn suspension and not enough castor. These together equal the "death wobble" What can you do RIGHT NOW if it happens, pump your tires up to max inflation pressure. Next, have a front end shop that has the proper experience and front end alignment tools adjust your trucks castor to the max it can be. This stabilizes the front end and will counter act wobble. Long term, check/replace worn components. Make sure you put in only factory or heavy duty off road style suspension joints, not cheap auto parts store replacements, those cheap ones have substandard plastic lined joints and will make it worse. If your suspension is worn all the worn out parts together can equal this type of wobble problem. Used trucks with high miles are prone to this because they often need every suspension component in the front end replaced, if each component has a little play it all adds up and becomes "too much play" and the entire front end can wobble like this. Lastly a steering stabilizer can help, but, is really a band aide that should not be used and should not actually be needed. If a front end shop says to put on a steering stabilizer tell them you will after every other component that is worn has been replaced and is up to factory standard or better. At that point you will not need the steering stabilizer though. ~

Surprised to see my local news come up when I just saw this happen and wanted to see if videos online were as bad as what I saw. I was on 77N and a maybe late 40s lady was merging from 85 in a pristine looking Wrangler. A death wobble started as she was coming up the merge ramp and it was INSANE. The wheels were going lock to lock multiple times a second and she slowed down in the space between the ramp and the highway to recover. I am so disappointed I don't have a dashcam setup in the vehicle I am in because I've not been able to find many videos that compare to just how violent those 33's looked going back and forth. I know of this phenomenon because I have a Dodge truck and the same thing (not nearly as bad though) happens when I cross a certain set of railroad tracks on my commute. If my wife had a Wrangler we'd be at the dealership right now getting a new car, no way I'd ever let her drive a Jeep again after seeing what that looks like from the outside. I know this video is about a Ford but Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep has been putting out garbage that does this for DECADES and blaming it on tires, modifications, or the roads. It's criminal that this stuff is still going on in the 2020s. I hope they get sued into oblivion one day over this.

My Ford f250 superduty is 21 years old . It had death wobble twice... and each time it was bad worn parts . Once I replaced them and got new tires ..yes tires ..(they play a big factor once your truck gets the wobble the bad parts have worn the tires also and you can not wear them straight again) . My truck then rode perfect. The problem with most of the complainers is they drove the truck for 70,000 miles or even 26,000 miles hauling heavy crap and then they dont want to spring for new balljoints and steering components . Which can cost a pretty penny when you add new tires .. My truck just passed 240,000 and the engine finally started running bad :) The Superduty wants **no play** in any component for it to cruise well . Lastly **Ride Height is critical** these trucks are geometrically set to the factory ride height ... So springs play a huge factor ..
