| Description of the problem | At approximately 65 to 70 mph and upon hitting a bump/expansion joint/pothole in the road, the truck will enter into a non-dampening castor oscillation (i. E. Death wobble). When this occurs it can be very difficult to control and the driver must slow down to approximately 40 - 45 mph to get the wobble to stop. This can be extremely dangerous when towing a large/heavy trailer. |
