steering gear just replaced one om my f250 had the same problem fix it.
If i was a gambler, I’d replace the trac bar and trac bar ball joint first.
I have a 2012 F-350 that has 90,000 miles. I drove over to Idaho last weekend and noticed my front end shaking pretty bad on the stretch of road between Othello and Washtucna. It was bad enough I had to ride on the fog line and center of the lane to get a somewhat smooth ride. I just replaced my shocks last fall so they should be ok. Any other suggestions on what it could be? All ball joints and tie rods are still factory. I do have a level kit if that makes a difference. I make that drive several times a year and this is the first time I've had this happen, so something has to be loose or worn.

It seemed like there was play in the track bar ball joint. would I just have to replace the track bar ball joint and bushing? The track bar is solid steel, i wouldn't think it would need replaced. Trac baars and trac bar ball joints have been a weak link issue with Super Duty for a very long time and continue to be.
