2009 Ford F-350 Suspension Problems

DRIVES REALLY ROUGH TRUCK BOUNCES AND MAKES IT HARD TO STEER HAD TO SLOW DOWN SO I WOULDN'T LOSE CONTROL. IM A BUSINESS OWNER AND HAVE BOUGHT ALOT OF TRUCKS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.

FRONT TIRES SUSPENSION BOUNCES LIKE A BASKET BALL UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGH SPEED (60 MPH+) IF YOU HIT A CHUG HOLE ON STREET.. WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE HEAD ON COLLISION AND INJURY OR DEATH. YOU HAVE TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SUSPENSION STOP BOUNCING.

THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TWO TIMES AND HAVE WAITED THERE AT FORD FOR 4-6 HOURS AT A TIME. SO WHEN I AM DRIVING ALONG AND THE ROAD TURNS LEFT AND I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE MY ENTIRE FRONT LEFT END STARTS BOUNCING LIKE A BASKETBALL. FORD TELLS ME IT'S MY TIRES I HAVE GOTTEN THEM BALANCED AND EVEN NEW ONES ON THE BACK. I HAVE TO COME TO VERY SLOW SPEED TO MAKE IT STOP BOUNCING. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65-75 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS NOW. I GET SCARED DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NOW BECAUSE OF IT AND NOW TAKE TURN MUCH SLOWER. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG ........... *TR
