Description of the problem	When vehicle passes over dips or bumps in road with height or depth in excess of 1/2 inch at speeds above 20 miles per hour tires traverse violently side to side inhibiting driver control until speed is reduced to 5-10 miles per hour. Most front end components associated with steering and shock absorption have been replace by professional mechanics with no resolution to issue.
