| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 ford super duty 4x4 with only 12900 miles on it with no modifications except a winch. Bought truck new. I live in ct. This happened 2 times once last year once this year,both in mass. Going 70 miles per hour on interstate 91 hit a bump last year slid over to the other lane because of severe steering shake. Lucky no car in other lane. This year same thing i checked tire pressure before going on my camp trip in vt tire press was 48 psi in all tires. This truck is only for pleasure. Now going home in mass. I hit a uneven sec. Of highway on 91s. It looked like a patch about 4 feet long ,the speed 70 in a 65mph zone,the truck steering shook so violently i almost lost control,but i had both hands on the wheel and that saved me. It scared the hell out of my passenger. This never happened in ct. Just mass. |
