| Description of the problem | At about 45 to 55mph truck sometimes develops a light shimmy in the front end. It occasionally becomes very severe feeling like the whole front suspension is about to come apart. It is especially prevalent when there is a slight left pressure on the steering wheel, like when changing lanes. Slowing will eliminate the bounce, but it is difficult to slow quickly when the front end is bouncing and severely vibrating. It causes a near total loss of control. |
