Description of the problem | While driving down the hwy. Upon hitting a pot hole or expantion joint the truck developes a violent shake and or wobble in the steering wheel and the entire vehicle shakes uncontrollably. My local dodge dealer replaced the sway bar shock on the sway bar arm and inspected the remaining parts on the front of the truck finding them in good condition. After the before mentioned work was performed the shake and or wobble is still present. It is truelly a "death wobble" as the driver has little to no control of the vehicle for a time and could easily become envolved in or cause an accident possibly being fatal. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) *tt |
