| Description of the problem | Experiencing the death wobble while driving at high speeds and every bump or transition from highway to the overpass i get the wobble if i let off the gas it evens back out. I've also been experiencing some play in my steering wheel since i picked it up from the repair. I took it in for repair 12/12/18 (invoice 557959) and they replaced the steering damper. Had it back less than a month and the death wobble was back. Dropped it off 2 days ago just got a call and the steering damper is bad again and both tie rods are bad. It's less than a year old. I called back to have them check the track bar weld just in case since some have a recall on them. |
