| Description of the problem | Death wobble, 50+ mph, minor bump violent front end shaking, unable to steer or brake. Coast until near stop and then continue as if nothing happen. To be on safe side replaced entire front end with quality parts as no part tested bad but replacement parts usa made were better quality than original. Stock 45k vehicle. Combination of poor design with slight wear. Any combination sooner or later is going to cause serious injury. Research shows this happens often with no actual recourse, it was expensive but safest recourse. Not sure why this has not been address by manufacture as online video's are accurate. Trust me, six flags has nothing that will rattle you more. |
