F250 Vibrations
Posted by Ron on October 29, 2006
Our company has purchased hundreds of F250 trucks in the past years. 2006 series has a terrible shaking of the suspension at about 35, 54, 75 mph. I have been told it is because of the OEM tires. I’m told these tires have nylon overlays or wraps. Thus the tires get flat spots in them when sitting for only a few hours and it like riding on square wheels. Is this true? We are experiencing this on all of our 05 and 06 F250’s.
From your note, I do not know what tires you are running but, if they do indeed have nylon overlays or wraps (basically a nylon ply laid over the top of the steel belts), there is a chance that the tires will "flat spot" when parked. The initial "thump-thump" will go away after 10-15 of running at highway speeds.
