Hello all,
I’ve had my ‘21 f150 xlt 2.7l for a few months now and have around 4500 miles.
Right from early on I realized that the truck has a very unstable / shimmy feeing on the freeway occasionally. Really more often than not though.
It’s mainly when driving in a straight lane, and it feels like the truck shimmy’s back and forth. Almost like a strong head wind is pushing it all over, but it won’t even be windy.
There is no shake or feedback in the steering wheel when it happens. And nothing in the front end seems to be loose.
I thought the tires could just need to wear in, but after 4500 miles there’s been no change.
My other theory was that the front air dam lowering is causing more wind resistance and/or a weird aerodynamic effect.
Anyone else notice this or have any ideas? My 2018 f150 was super stable at any speed. I’m a bit disappointed.
