| Description of the problem | Truck began to have a steering wobble. Steering wheel would vibrate because wheels were jumping on the pavement. Progressively got worse. Currently at 70k miles driving speed anywhere between 30 and 70 mph, when i drive over a bump, hit a small pot hole or even the smallest dip on the road surface the truck begins to shake violently, best way to stop it is to apply brakes hard until truck reaches a much lower speed. I have been driving behind other trucks that are experiencing it and can see the front wheels shaking hard and quick, left, right, up and down ( vibrating) on the road. |
