| Description of the problem | While driving at 65 mph i hit a bump in the road at the end of the bridge i was crossing. The front end began shaking violently. I hit the brakes and when i slowed to approx. 40 mph the shaking stopped. I have been checking on-line and discovered the shaking is commonly call the "death wobble". I can see why it is called that because i had little to no control of the vehicle when the death wobble occurred. |
