Reminds me of the death wobble all us Super Duty owners are familiar with from over all the years, looks like they still haven’t figured it out lol. All the main HD truck manufacturers have had run ins with the death wobble not just ford. happens on GM and dodge all the time as well.

Solid front axles with worn parts. Gonna get the death wobble from time to time.

It's not a "Ford" thing. It's a solid front axle thing. Jeeps are really known to do it after they get lifted and fitted with some large tires.

That looks like the lane change alert when you try to change lanes without using your turn signal. My wife was complaining that her new 2017 Escape Titanium had a shimmy. Then I figured out that she was changing lanes without turn signals and the shimmy went away.

Hahahahahahahaha I hope you’re joking.

I mean I know lane departure warning vibrates the steering wheel but not the mirrors and the dash…

My 1965 Schwinn Stingray with springer front end had the high speed wobbles... I went over the handlebars at over 35mph when I was a kid. (I had a speedo on it...) going on a steep downhill racing my Dad. No helmet, walked away with a small scratch on my hip and rode it home. My Dad and I still like to race... Lol

If they weren't designed to go over 65mph they would be governed out at 60mph. It's just a crappy dealer who doesn't care about their customers.

I had that happen to me on my old sting ray back in 1965. I was racing and pedaling so hard that I started pulling the front wheel off the ground, the oscillation kept getting bigger until I did a face plow in the street. I was 7 years old. Broke my upper jaw in three places and chipped my permanent front teeth so bad they had to pull what was left. It didn't end well. That death wobble is a killer.

"Not designed to go over 65 mph" LOL I can't believe this excuse for not fixing whatever is wrong.
