Description of the problem | While passing a slower vehicle , i hit a small bump in the road which caused the steering wheel to shake violently (death shake) almost losing control of truck. I had to move back over into my lane before i should of and pull off onto the narrow shoulder which caused about 6 vehicles behind me to swerve to miss me. After slowing to about 20 mph the shake went away. I continued on driving till i was able to pull off into a safe area to inspect for a cause, but did not see anything loose or abnormal in any steering or suspension components. Fortunately i wasn't towing my camper at the time, otherwise i may not have been here to submit this report. |
