I want to ask a question or add information on the Ford death wobble, but can't figure out how to start on the website??????

I have a thor freedom traveler on a Ford f53 chassis and am experiencing "The Ford truck Death Wobble "! It is a violent wobbling of the front wheels that virtually shakes the steering wheel from your hands. More can be found about this online and YouTube. 1200 complaints at National Highway Safety Administration with 12 plus accidents but so far no deaths.
Ford has not issued a recall, and their technical support center didn't acknowledge it, but two different service centers did know about it, but did not have a fix. One center Solomon Ford in SW PA contacted a Ford engineer who worked with another Service center C Harper Comercal Ford truck to come up with a fix for my specific MH.
It involves installing aftermarket stabilizers on the front end steering/ suspension.
This is critical information for anyone else who experiances this defect in their Ford heavy duty ( F250 and up) chassis.
I don't know how to post this in more appropriate threads so if someone else can do so please do.

Since the "Ford Death Wobble" is a 3/4 and 1 ton pickup truck problem I suspect your problem on the F53 chassis is unrelated. This is the first I have heard of this issue on the F53 chassis.

How old is your MH and how many miles on it?
What was the fix for your specific MH?

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it,s probably a duck. One of the service centers I worked with on this has had the issue with other F53s but they were dump or utility trucks.

like I said The Ford engineer came up with a fix though the specific parts I do not yet have the details on to provide. also,with since 1200 have filed complaints with the NHSA there may be several amongst the group with F53 chassis that didn't notify you, or perhaps I am the first.
