| Description of the problem | Loud pop noise on drivers side felt through floorboard. Steering became erratic with truck veering left to right and very difficult to keep in lane. If it happened at highway speeds i would have gone off the road for sure. Took vehicle in for alignment and front end inspection and nothing found out of order. Day after that it did it again. Just came back home now and it did it again with a police officer behind me. He followed me to my house and thought i had been drinking because of the way the vehicle appeared to be out of control at only 20mph. I'm scared to drive now because the frequencies between normal and not are shortening. Vehicle suspension is not modified from stock. |
