- I had the same issue on my '05 - The OEM steering damper is inadequate. I researched this issue for months.
Finally settled on the Rize Industries steering dampener. It use two full sized shock absorbers. Cleared the vibration up immediately and has never returned. Not only it that violent shaking at freeways speeds a bit terrifying, it did do some damage to my steering links and I had them replaced at the same time.

I'm a mechanical engineer. Driving F250 King Ranch, 8 truck bed. It has 20" tires (from Ford dealer). Driving at 55 MPH on slight curve on NC Hwy 74 (four lane). Sudden heavy wobble in front end. Unable to control truck and forced another car off road. Steering was un-controllable. Analysis of the 20 in. wheels suggest mass weight at 50 MPH may exceed the dampening capability of the joints on tie rods or sway bars. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.. A Lawsuit should initiated for repair of this WOBBLE ISSUE. 18 Inch wheels mass rotational weight does not exceed sway bar CONTAINED conditions.
Please consider reducing tire size and replacing tie rod ball joints to correct this issue immediately
FORD MOTORS should take heed as I don't intend to be killed by this condition. Dealers are aware of this condition but factory not supporting any repairs.
