What causes this and how the hell do I fix it???

 

I think more information will help.

When do you get the death shake? at a certain speed? while braking?

 

Welcome to F150forum.com .. Lots of good guys and info here... Be sure to post some pictures ....

What kind of truck we talking about... Have you Balanced the tires.. How old are the tires... Also check the Tie rod ends... And also Check the ball joints... IS the truck 4wheel drive... Might check the axle's

 

Well, happened 3 times. When I hit a man hole cover and a large bump. The last time it bent my connecting rod. My tires are pidgeon toed. I have a 6" lift with 35" rock climbers. Could it be I need more support because of the weight of the tires?

 

I have a 93 F150...6" lift, 35" rock climbers. I'm thinking the weight of the tires is a bit much. Do I need more support? The last shake bent my connector rod. You can see my truck in my garage. Now the tires are "pidgeon toed". Everything was recently checked out. Tires are less than a year old.

 

If the tires are pigeon toed.... It cannot check out right....You need to find out why they are pigeon toed.... I dont think the weight of the tires has anything to do with it.. Needs a front end allignment for sure

Check the tie rod ends and ball joints... Shocks..

Does it have a steering stabilizer

 

Ball joints, Ball joints, Ball joints. The play to create that wobble is when ball joints have failed due to oversize tires. At that height and weight of 35's the ball joints should be replaced every year. Possibly more frequently depending on driving style or conditions, I.E. long dirt roads as a driveway, potholed commute, recreational driving off road. My ball joints had so much play when I bought my truck that the outside of the tires looked new and the inners were showing the metal bands. Good Luck

 

Thanks so much for your imput. Will definately check the ball joints. It's killing me not being able to drive her....
