Ford F250 4WD. Wheels will start to veer to different sides, with a catch, and the steering wheel has great difficulty keeping them under control. A loud pop, while stopped and turning tires left to right repeatedly, fixes it for a short time but quickly returns within the following day or two. Recently replaced ball joints and tires and still having the problem. Sometimes the resulting shaking can be so bad that we literally have to pull over because the front end shakes and shimmies violently. When the issue is not present the truck runs fine. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be?
Have a front end suspension check done to eliminate any worm ball joints -shockies- worn suspension rubbers-- steering problems. If ok have a wheel alignment done and have the rear end aligned first as it affects the front alignment. The violent wobble is castor wobble and indicates negative castor possible from sagging suspension springs. The camber is out at that results in the car following every dip in the road. The camber has to work in conjunction with the toe-in measurement and if the 2 are not correct then you will have problems.
Testimonial: "Thanks Bill. It is going in the shop today."
There is a steerin shocky attached to the tie rod and chassis which is used to dampen out the effects of the u-joints in the king pin housing.( Big ball housing on the end of the diff housing). Have it checked for operation as if it is soft then the effects are not being dampered out and will multiply up to what you have.

The steering wheel is something which sometimes shakes at high speeds around 70 miles per hour. It does not happens all the time but, Some time when the one is driving at 70, I will not possess any shakes. some day it shakes badly at the same speed. So, its not continuous it merely depends upon the state of the Wheel.

SOURCE: shaking in the front end
Have the brake discs checked, as they may need to be machined or replaced.Also have them check the idler arm and tie rod ends.
SOURCE: problem with shaking tires
replace the idler arm that connects the steering linkage to the frame on the passengers side,heavy duty part is about$90.00
SOURCE: Under 40mph rides ok. but
how about your tires ? they might have a broken belt in them .... hope this helps
