| Description of the problem | Driving speed limit, on highway 241, road bump/asphalt new vs old transition point, other time minor pot hole, once while making a right banked turn on the 241, another time while driving on 57 went over a road patch. Severe front shake until i stop, causes cars around to drive defensively and i am trying to keep control. Wife is afraid of driving truck and is concerned for my safety, it is very scary when it happens, the whole truck shakes like a blown tire until i stop. Changed steering dampener, adj steering box play, check tire pressure. Only happened once since repair, but i drive very cautiously and slower than most traffic now. Can't sell truck because i would not do this to someone else. |
