F-250 4WD 8-cyl

  • 55,000 miles
I own a 2006 Ford F-250 lariat crew cab four wheel drive truck. I am the original owner. Three weeks ago the truck started experiencing violent front-end shaking. During an episode of left-to-right shaking, the truck is very difficult to control. With my hand placed on the 12:00 position on the steering wheel, the shaking violently turns the steering wheel to where my hand is going back and forth between 10:00 and 2:00. Slowing down to 30mph has stopped each of the three episodes. This truck has the factory installed Wrangler ats tires and does not have a lift kit on it. Air pressure in the tires equal manufacturers recommendation. I am taking the truck to my local Ford dealership in two days for diagnostics. They act as if this is an uncommon problem, but following an internet search, it appears to be very common. It appears that Ford Motor Company has blamed tire pressure, giant aftermarket tires, and lift kits for this problem. My truck has none of these possible causes.
