| Description of the problem | Front end shakes uncontrollably when driving over bumps/pits in the paved roadway at 40+ mph. This does not always occur. When it does, i must immediately brake to slow the truck to 20mph or less to regain control. Today was the worst occurrence - completely lost control and swerved over both adjacent lanes before recovering. Was traveling at 65 mph. No traffic near, so no accident occurred. When driving over a bridge expansion joint, truck steering wheel cannot be held firm due to reaction to the expansion joint and the steering. All these have occurred on both paved county roads, state highways, and interstates and driving straight ahead. |
