| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 toyota tundra double cab with 14,000 miles on it. At highway speeds (65+mph) there is a terrible bounce in the bed of the truck. At times, it is so bad that i feel like i might lose control of the vehicle and must slow down well below the speed limit. I had my tires balanced and the problem still exists. I cannot take passengers on long highway trips because they get nauseous. I am worried that this will cause myself or someone else with a tundra to become injured or die. This has been happening since i purchased the vehicle six months ago when it had 8,000 miles on it. |
