Hello. New to posting on the forum but have received a lot of good info from this page. I am stuck in a difficult spot with my current 2019 Raptor and need some help.
My Gen 2 2019 F150 Raptor has 48k miles and was bone stock when I purchased the vehicle. After a few days driving the truck I noticed that steering at highway speeds, greater than 60mph, was highly irregular. The truck would wonder left, wonder right, and required constant input from the driver to keep the truck between the lines. The truck required two hands to drive and full attention or you would pull across multiple lanes of traffic. When passing larger vehicles or 18 wheelers the truck pushes hard away and then struggles to recenter. I went to my Ford dealership where I purchased the certified pre own and they suggested an alignment. This did not resolve the issue and took the truck back to the dealership where they stated nothing was wrong with the truck. I then went to a local shop here in TX called TX Motorworx. They drove the truck and suggested that we rebuild the shocks as they were starting to wear out. After a month we completed this process along with another alignment. Although this did improve the offroad ride it did not resolve the wondering or tramlining. I enjoy the truck but due to my highway driving most often I am considering taking a major loss and going a different route. Hoping to get some input here that can help.
Items done:
Alignment 4 times
Ford technician "checked" all steering components and reported no issues
Rebuilt shocks all around
