Description of the problem | Bought truck new. At 16,000 miles starting shaking violently when hitting bumps on the highway at speed over 55 mph, was taken to dealer, said they could'nt recreate the problem. Problem continued, took to another dealer said they were aware of the issue and recommended replacing the steering damper. This seemed to fix the issue for while but i could feel it getting worse (steering wheel starting to shake a little when hitting bumps) but never went into full death wobble, at 27,000 miles it went into full death wobble again on freeway overpass with wife and kid, very scary. Taking back to dealer tomorrow. Truck has stock tires, stock wheels, stock suspension, stock shocks, stock ride height. Truck has not been modified in any way. |
