STEERING
TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE A STEERING WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE BECAUSE WHEELS WERE JUMPING ON THE PAVEMENT. PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. CURRENTLY AT 70K MILES DRIVING SPEED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH, WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP, HIT A SMALL POT HOLE OR EVEN THE SMALLEST DIP ON THE ROAD SURFACE THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, BEST WAY TO STOP IT IS TO APPLY BRAKES HARD UNTIL TRUCK REACHES A MUCH LOWER SPEED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND OTHER TRUCKS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING IT AND CAN SEE THE FRONT WHEELS SHAKING HARD AND QUICK, LEFT, RIGHT, UP AND DOWN ( VIBRATING) ON THE ROAD. *TR

SHIMMING VIOLENTLY, HARD TO GET THE VIBRATION TO STOP. THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH.

THE TIRES ARE AT THE RIGHT AIR PRESSURE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE TRUCK IS A DIESEL 4X4. *TR

AFTER TRAVELING OVER SMALL BUMPS, LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS MOST RECENTLY, AT AROUND 30MPH, ONE FRONT WHEEL STARTED BOUNCING VIOLENTLY, MAKING VEHICLE LOOSE CONTROL UNTIL TRUCK COULD BE BROUGHT TO A STOP. HAD EXPERIENCED THIS NUMEROUS TIME IN THE PAST BUT THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY ADDING A STEERING STABILIZER A FEW YEARS AGO. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. EACH TIME, THIS HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE FRONT END WOBBLE WHICH MOSTLY OCCURS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 60 - 70 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE SO MUCH THAT USUALLY THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP THE WOBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED NEW TIRES WHICH WE REPLACED HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WE HAVE LEARNED ONLINE WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
