Description of the problem | I was traveling along i-40 going about 75 miles per hour around a slight curve to the left when i hit a small bump. The entire front end of my truck began to shake violently. The truck became very difficult to control as the steering wheel was ripped out of my hands. I pulled a muscle in my arm trying to regain control the first time it happened. The shaking went away as soon as i slowed down to about 68mph, and did not return as i accelerated further. This began happening on 11/12/2019 at approximately 38k miles. Here is a link to the video of what occurred. Https://www. Facebook.
