I'm wondering if anyone here has had the same problem I'm having. I have a 2007 Screw 4x4 and since the day I bought it it has a shake in the steering wheel at 65 to 70 mph. I have taken it to ford but of course it wont do it when they are in the truck with me. I had the tires balanced 3 times,rotated, and even bought new rims. It still does it. It is Intermittent and does it every now and then. I have been told that the lower control arms could be loose so i had them checked and they said they were tight. then I was told the ball joints may be bad so I had them checked...No, there good too. I'm out of ideas. any help would be appreciated.

 

If your truck is lifted and has bigger tires than the truck should have then it may be possible that you might need to get a steering stabalizer for the front end.

 

I have the Contitrac or Continental (cant remember which) on my 06 screw 4x4 they ahve sucked since day one. Always shaky at interstate speeds.

 

try taking your truck down hill at about 60-70 mph, let go the gas and let it roll. that's how i feel the skaking the most in mine. there is a known issue of vibrations in the rear end.

 

A vibration in my 07 at those same speeds turned out to be the damn TPMS sensor in the front right tire coming off the band and just banging around in the tire. I never would have known it had I not taken the wheel off and heard it rolling around inside the tire as I rolled it away from the truck. The sensor was working the whole time too.

 

I have an 02 250, and it does the same thing, but not only at interstate speeds. It has happened in town, especially after a bump. The steering wheel gets shaking badly enough for my wife to pull over, then stops. In a year of driving the truck, it has happened about 5 times. I am going to take it in this week to have it looked over.

Any ideas as to what is happening? The truck is stock, not lifted.

Thanks
