I have had a vibration in my 2021 F250 since delivery at highway speeds. The dealer has replaced 1 bent rim and road forced all tires. The vibration is still there. Continental Conitrac tires. Any have this issue? I can feel it in the steering and the whole truck.

 

If course, the first question is how did the rim get bent?

If they can't fix it after 2 more tries, ask them if the lemon law applies here.

 

Not sure how it got bent. I only have about 8g on her. First dealer brushed me off and second found it during road force.

 

I opened a case with Ford customer svc but I’m not sure where that will go. They asked that I return to the dealer asap.

 

Not sure of what road force is.
Can you help us out here?

It takes quite a bit to bend a rim. If you have any knowledge regarding that, it could be why they seem to be skirting the issue.

Could you fill us in on how you believe it got bent?

 

Not sure how it got bent. There was no visible damage such as scratches or gouges It was more out of round I would say. At this point I think the vibration is related to the Continental Conitrac tires.

 

If you look very carefully at the area where the rim meets the sidewall of the tire , you should see a raised line that goes around the sidewall. That line would tell you if the tire was mounted correctly and centered on the rim. Most tire places know this and will try to mount the tire correctly.
Just a little FYI.

 

Gotcha. Thx for info. I’ll take a look.
