#765200August 5, 2002
SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 60 MPH, WE HIT A MILD BUMP ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE FRONT END IMMEDIATELY STARTED VIBRATING HORRIBLY, ALTERNATING LEFT:RIGHT. IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING FOR MY HUSBAND TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, BUT HE MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE, POSSIBLY MORE. I BELIEVE THE FIRST INCIDENT MAY HAVE OCCURRED LATE LAST YEAR, WITH PERIODIC SIMILAR EPISODES CONTINUING THROUGH THE EARLY SPRING. WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE "TIE ROD" AND "BAR TRACK" ON MARCH 27, 2002, AS A RESULT OF THEIR ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WE HAVE HAD TWO MORE OCCURRENCES SINCE THEN. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (>50MPH) AND BEGINS AFTER TAKING A BUMP, WHICH DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A LARGE BUMP OR POTHOLE.*AK
