| Description of the problem | While driving north on illinois rt 29 near peoria, il, i traveled over an old set of railroad tracks that have been paved over. They stick up just enough to feel them when you pass over. After traveling over these at 60 mph, the front of my truck went into an instability involving extreme tire hop and shaking. The steering wheel oscillated rapidly and steering felt completely of control for about 4 seconds. Luckily this was on a straight away that required little course correction. I have owned this truck for 3 days and traveled about 300 miles at various speeds, and this is the first occurrence. It is related to a resonance condition as it takes the right speed and loads into the suspension to create this dangerous condition. It is very scary. You need to investigate this in detail. |
