Dad Jokes (let's hear your worst! ;-)

Then there was the one car I owned that pulled to the right every time I passed a gas station.

Those of us with solid front axles understand this. Instead of a speed range, my warning would be more like, "Don't hit that damn expansion joint!"
It unfortunately caused me to sell my Ford. Was terrifying the first time it happened and I was hauling my tractor down a mtn.
I’ve since learned that it seems fairly reasonable to “fix” but now I just stick to my IFS rigs lol

Death Wobble was a new term to me when I bought my F-350. I've had it three times since 2017. The first time was my fault. I didn't put enough force on the WDH, which allowed too much weight to be removed from the front axle and I hit a very rough expansion joint. The second time was also my fault. I dialed down the Rancho shocks for a better ride while not towing and hit something. The third time, the steering stabilizer was shot and Ford replaced it under a customer service campaign. When (not if) it happens again I'll take it to the local aftermarket truck repair center and have them go at it. I would do it myself but there's a nut that requires 450 lb/ft and my torque wrench goes up only to 300 lb/ft.
 
I see this as excellent justification to buy more tools.

Normally, I would agree with you. My brother is a Snap-On dealer, so I get a decent discount. But I just don't want to spend the money right now since I recently bought $600 of tools from him. The other factor is that while I'm a decent mechanic, I have zero experience dealing with steering components.
