| Description of the problem | My 06 ford f -250 experiences what seems to be normal wheel-hop on the highway (between 50-65 mph) but the hop instantly turns into a "hyper-shake" causing complete loss of control with the truck bouncing out of the lane to wherever it wishes to go until the rear brakes manage to slow it down enough to regain control. Thank god it has not killed anyone yet (including me). It could have very easily went head-on if that is where the road was headed. *jb |
