FX4 Vibration Fixed
When I purchased my truck I had a creek noise in steering column when driving over small bumps in a parking lot. Had dealer look at it and they told me they need to order a part but was on back order.
While waiting for part I put 2500 miles on truck with some trips to hunting camp pulling a small 10x5 ATV trailer. When pulling trailer only, I had vibration in the steering wheel between 60-70 MPH. It would shake bad enough my hands were shaking.
I read treads on vibration, but others had without a trailer and mine was only with a trailer. Thought my trailer tires need changing, but never had that before this truck.
The dealer finally got my part in and fixed the steering column. Per the paper work, they replaced "Faulty steering column intermediate shaft". No more creek!
Well to my surprise, went to hunting camp and pulled ATV trailer. Got up between 60-70 mph and no more shaking! I do have a very slight road buzz in steering wheel but its from the M/T tires.
Hope this helps others with this problem.
