Death Wobble on the 2020 Super Dutys?

[blackbull]

Has anyone experienced death wobble on the 2020 Super Dutys?

 

[Whyte Rhyno]

No not yet.

None with mine yet, but I am thinking that we specifically won't see any death wobble over here, It will be a "TREMOR" not a wobble.

Feel the Tremor

But really.. the stories I’ve read do play in the back of my head. I’ve never bought a new vehicle before and I’ve never paid more then $10k for one either. Shelling out $60k+ and then having this show up doesn’t help.

Could you please define death wobble?

No death wobble, what is the reason for the question?

 

[Adrenolin]

Google F250 Death Wobble. There are report of it dating back as far as 2005. A minor to violent shaking of the truck that can occur over 45mph when hitting a minor road bump. There are a couple lawsuits and a class action also against Ford over it.

I had many and had to rebuild the front end twice,,would come at the worst times and scare the hell out of you,,,2011 6.7 diesel f250

Zero dont see that happening with everything so tight. Fixed many on old worn out Jeeps and just a few Super Duty.

Fought the death wobble in my 92 Dodge at 225k miles. Put a kit on with two shock absorbers across the front axle and viola. So as per my original question why ask about a death wobble in a 2020 if none have been reported? Especially, in a suspension that is a different set up than anything made. Sounds like a bunch of pearl clutching to me.

The F250 DW issue has been reported since as far back as 2005 over several different suspension setups.

I have fought death wobble on a number of solid front axle vehicles, especially those with a panhard bar equipped suspension design. I am sure that with adequate wear on the suspension components, death wobble could occur on my Tremor, but doubt it will be an issue for a long time.

2020 F450 4x4 crew cab with 8 foot bed
I have experenced it too many times to count. It is very damgerious and hard to control the truck during this event. Will cause an accident sooner or later.

 

[Htown Ford]

At 25k miles since Feb, never not once.

 

[strogg]

None here either. It's not limited to F250s, though. It's a phenomenon with solid front axle vehicles due to the design of the axle coupled with poor implementation. If you search "death wobble" online, most results actually come back with Jeeps.

One guy on here reported death wobble...he had 5600 miles if I recall. My coworker had it at 20k miles on his 19 F250.

 

[Billy Bain]

I have 148,000 mile on mine since Jan 15 2020. I travel a lot of west and the truck ruts in the right lane seem to be what triggers it,

 

[Grabber]

I have had a 2005, 2015, and new Tremor and never had death wobble. In fact I only experienced bump steer in my Tremor a couple of times (still amazed by this).

 

[Whyte Rhyno]

I've never experienced it in any super duty i've owned thankfully. seems to be more common in lifted trucks with no compensation made in the drag link or track bar
