Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT OVER 45 TO 50 MPH, IF I HIT A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END/STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES ALMOST STOP TO GET IT TO QUIT. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME ONE DAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND SHE REPORTED THE TIRE/WHEEL LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING O LAY ON ITS SIDE. SHE WAS CONCERNED THE TIE ROD WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
