Death Wobble???

[KiBucsFootball]

On my way to the gym this morning I hit a bump in the road going about 65mph and Im pretty sure i went into a Death Wobble. This wasnt the first time though, the first time was when i was going across a bridge my truck started to shake but after the first time i went to go get an alignment and that seemed to help for a couple of weeks until today. It aslo seems that i have a very rough ride. could it be my shocks? i only have 20 thousand miles on the truck. But i did slide off the road one day when it was raining and a deer ran out in front of me. that incident was very rough, could that of ruined my shocks? My Truck is also stock ride height.
Any info or help is appreciated... Thank You

I thought death wobble mainly happened with lifted trucks, get the suspension checked out..

no it doesnt have to be lifted. someone will chime in but maybe a higher quality steering stabilizer. i just put one on my truck and our 04 but havent had much time to drive on the highway. some say they help.
here is a vid, stock f250

Ya that is like the extreme of all death wobbles. Haha. That takes talent to keep that truck on the road.

I was just fighting that, it killed my dual steering stabilizers, but it ended up being a loose bolt on the tire rod, im hoping that fixes it, havent had a chance to drive it again yet

Wow that looks exciting. Hope I don't ever experience that.

My truck is as stock as it comes 2006 6.0 F250 Super Duty fx4 had the rancho shocks on it. I hit a railroad crossing that I wasn't expecting at 70 mph with a 8x12' cargo trailer behind me...That was my first ever experience of death wobble. Talk about stained pants... Since that incident my truck has not handled the same. I have jacked it up checking for anything loose, had it aligned. Tires rotated and balanced. I changed my shocks. So far nothing has fixed it. I have death wobbled probably 6 times in the last month... I have noticed that when I have to make a slight left curve not much just slight that I feel my steering wheel vibrate left and right. It never used to do that. When I'm going down a straight stretch of road empty and with no trailer, and hit a bump my truck bucks like I'm pulling a trailer...and I don't remember it doing that before the train track incident. I am wondering if I messed up the springs or something hitting the train crossing at that speed. I know one thing My truck acts everybit as bad as that video if not worse!

I also forgot to mention that my steering feels "loose" where as it didn't used to!

Here's what I did to fix my less severe wobble. The comparison of before and after is very obvious.
