The front end wanders and grabs any road deformities severely enough to put you in another lane

I just purchased this beautiful f 250 truck 2008, from the automotive company in chantilly, virginia. I went out on the road and immediately discovered the truck had a major steering problem. It is described as I cannot keep it in the lane I am traveling in because of steering wobble and playing the steering and wanders into incoming traffic. I also checked up underneath and there were loose tie rod brackets and other components that I do not know the names of. It's a real shame when the salesman you purchased it from when I texted this to him will not call or text back, very deceitful.

While in motion, at 30 MPH or higher, the truck wanders left and right. Impossible to maintain straight travel...basically no centering of steering. Unsafe and it appears that you are driving as a drunk would. Also, violent shaking of steering wheel after hitting a bump at speed.

1) faulty head bolts repair was over $6000 involved gaskets, cracked heads, bolts, updates and upgrades. 2) death wobble front end issues (mine are fortunately occurring at at low speeds) however the wobble has caused many front end and steering components to wear out prematurely. Wobble kicks in after sharp turns and wheel will not return to center and when forced back to center it will wander and hunt for center. Usually up till 20-25mph then self corrects.

Steering gets stiff and vehicle wanders from side to side, requiring a forceful tug in the opposite direction to correct steering. When attempting to drive in a straight line, it feels like a boat chine walking, except is much harder to correct. This has happened at all speeds and on all road surfaces. Began in the last 250 miles with about 143,000 miles on vehicle.

While driving on the highway at about 50 MPH, truck seemed to want to wander due to excessive play in the steering box. Steering wheel would turn about 1/4 to 1/2 way before it would react. I took it to my local mechanic and he told me it could possibly be adjusted. He checked all the linkage and steering box bolts for looseness. He tried to adjust the box but there was a flat spot on the steering gear that had worn and could not adjust because it would cause the steering to bind up and not return correctly. He told me this was very unusual for a steering box to be worn out with only 47,000 mile on the truck and that it should be replaced because it would be very unsafe to drive. After returning it to me I drove it for a few days and decided it was best to have the steering box replaced. My cost was over $700. I feel this is really a very unsafe situation for drivers to be in and have no alternative but to have it repaired. I hope ford realizes that I am not the only one that has experienced this problem and cares enough about there customers to fix this problem before it kills someone. I have owned many vehicles in my life and never experienced a problem like this with such low milage.
