I am working on a 95 Ford F250 with a 460 gasser 250K it has a death Wobble the worst I have ever seen. When you hit a pot hole hang on for your life its almost uncontrollable and the wobble stays with it till you come to a dead stop. Dead stop not slow down it will bounce you in the seat scary as ell...
Lets face it hauling a 1000 lb engine for 250K is a chore for most trucks add in Fords love of twin I beam are in this case Twin-Traction Beam (TTB) all is worn out. BTW Ford is the only ones to use this screwy set up...
Down and dirty. The upper ball joints are worn out I mean worn out so lets go after the ball joints. All the steering linkage it in great condition. Lets go get the shocks guess what they have been replaced I see noting wrong with them I would install them on my own truck so I leave them be.
The owner is dead set on the belief they are bad I say no this is not a shock issue. I mention the spring bushing and shackles show ware more than I am comfortable with. My 95 F250 came from the factory with a steering stabilizer his did not I thought that was strange.
I go googling it seamed the normal reply's were did you put a track bar on it my thoughts why would this set up need a track bar the TTB housing is attached directly to the frame that's your track bar.
I go looing deeper at the pivot bushings to my surprise I find the bracket on the right axle pivot point is broken. I find rivets snapped off on the cross member below the engine. I am going to write this off as an effect form the worst death wobble I have ever ran across.
I don't have real good pix yet I will snap one of the bracket when I get the old one off. Its a hard place to get at to take a good pix one you would never look. The best I can do now.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
