Default Front end problem

I have a 2005 F250 Super Duty with BFGoodrich T/A's, size LT315/70R17/118R, and just recently had the tires balanced, rotated and front end alignment done. After getting my truck back the front end now shakes periodically and at different speeds. I since have taken the truck back to the tire shop that I always go to, twice. The first time back the tech said that the tires were out of balance and he made the corrections. This didn't work, I took it back for the second time and now it is worse. The tire shop I go to is reputable and I've been going there for nearly 10 years. Any suggestions on what may be wrong with the suspension? The truck has never been off road and has only 48,000 miles.

Check with the dealer or this sitefor recalls and TSB's. Your model should have a TSB on it for the problem your describing. Could be worn parts or at the very least need a steering stabalizer installed. Ford should cover it.

I Have had this problem for a year now. And finally a dealer fixed it jsut 2 weeks ago! originaly they installed a stabalizer bar, which did not work. then they blamed my 315 tires saying they should be 265. in the end they found that my steering box was bad and too loose, and all the bushings were worn and needed to be replaced. since then (2 weeks) it drives smooth again loke brand new. mention that to your dealer and have the bushings and gear box checked for excessive play
