| Description of the problem | It first started as severe shaking whenever i hit a bump, especially on an curve. The truck would hop and shake and become uncontrollable until i slowed. This still happens but now i also get an uncontrollable wobble whenever i drive at highway speed and there is any kind of incline or bend in the road. Only fix is to slow down significantly.. It's dangerous! I've become trained to deal with it but it's certainly unsafe and i always worry that it will happen on a slick road and i won't be able to hold it on the road. I've replaced tires, aligned, balanced, road force balanced and nothing fixes it! |
