It is a pain in the butt you pay all that money for a built ford tough truck and they cant find the problem and they charge you a arm and a leg for that information.

My Ford F-150 STX 4.6L will start to shimmy and shake while driving. It happens at any time while on the road. I took it to Woltz Wind Ford in PA and they said that I had a spring locking up on my brakes causing the brakes to lock up. I might not be a mechanic, but this makes no sense to me beings it has happened while traveling 60 mph and not touching the break. I have replaced my breaks, my rotors, and a break caliper and it still happens and is getting worse. I can not believe that there is not solution to this.

I am now looking at either a Toyota or a Nissan or Silverado. If it aint fixed for free it's goodbye Fords..

A drive shaft should not go bad at this kind of time or mileage. Other truck owners know this as well. I did some research. Ford decided to go with a drive shaft made cheaper in Canada. The problem is that the joint in the middle goes bad and is unserviceable. So the fix is another drive shaft from Ford for 900.00 that is also unserviceable. I called Ford and asked for some assistance they told me it was out of warranty and there was no recall either so too bad. As a truck driver/owner since 1994. I know this part should not go bad for a long time. Ford tough I don't think so anymore. I would like to thank the Ford motor company for the inspiration to seriously consider a different truck the next go around.
