| Description of the problem | When traveling at 45 mph i made a slight left turn in the road and went over a long small bump in the road maybe from a road seam that was filled in. Both wheels hit it at the same time and the jeep slowly started shaking until it became very violent inside the jeep. I had to slow my speed down to approx 10 mph to get it to stop. I happened to have a coworker behind me who saw the whole thing from behind and said the car was shaking back and forth so much that it looked like my rims were almost touching the road since my tire treads stayed straight. It felt like i had 4 flats. I changed the steering dampener and the shocks to rancho brand which are larger than the oem but it happened again but not nearly as bad since i now know when it could possibly happen. If there were cars next to me i would have hit them. This is a very real problem which is scary. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |
