You can start with any of his "death shake" ones and his story with repairs and steering wheel crooked and wheels getting out of alignment.

Taking the truck back to the alignment shop tomorrow and they said they realign and make sure everything was torqued down. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the death wobble as it drives fine and I never had an issue with alignment staying locked until this one alignment. Thanks!

curious, is this a new shop you took it to? or a new trail youve never been on? could have just been a guy not so familiar with the truck, or just didnt give it that final uga-uga of the impact gun.. lol

ask if you can get the print out. curious if that was the culprit.

Same one and if I have issues again I’ll pay to go somewhere else. No I’ve been on this trail many times and never had an issue with alignment even after some pretty hard jumps/ruts. If anything this time was slower because I was with a group of several trucks and we stopped a lot to look at the scenery. I’ll let everyone know and I did ask for the printout. I’m hoping they just forgot to tighten the lower bolts.

Should be putting lock tight on those lower control arm bolts. I personally have seen many come loose.

You would know if you really have had Death Wobble, you would need a clean pair of shorts if you have never seen or had it happen to you. It is a true white knuckle experience that you will never forget

Yeah it def is not the death shake. So they called and said the truck is ready. No damage and they said nothing is bent but they’re charging me 30 bucks since they said they could tell I took it Offroad but whatever. I’m going to recheck the torque on everything when I get home to make sure everything is torqued

30 bucks is basically free for an alignment. It's 150 bucks up north here, whether i take it to Ford or my tire shop.

So got it back and it drives straight with a straight wheel. They said nothing was bent. They didn’t end up charging me and the printout did show toe was out. I’m going to say either they forgot to tighten something or maybe I did hit a bump at one point harder than I thought.
