I have a super crew 4x4 w/ 3.73 ltd slip rear. i_x0019_m having the same problems many of us have experienced with the steering wheel vibration "nibble" at highway speeds and the rear end shudders from a standstill upon acceleration or while making turns. i brought the truck in this week and the service writer had the service manager take a test drive with me so i could show him what i was talking about. he felt the exact same things i did, acknowledged the vibration and the slipping "shuddering" rear end feeling. the dealership has been trying different sets of wheels and tires on my truck but problem still exists. as for the rear end problems, they have yet to come up with a solution to fix the problem; no attempt has been made to try to fix it. i am not alone with these problems. *ak

Left front end , when i back out of a parking spot after letting the truck sit for over a minute, as i start to drive i can feel and hear a rough noise, i can feel it on the drivers floorboard, it vibrates for a second or two and its also audible, i took it into my dealer had he said he heard nothing but i have let friends drive and they say they hear and feel it too, the sound is like something may be rubbing or setting back into place. my truck is a 2004 f150 and started doing that about 2 months after i bought it. *ak
