Consumer Description

AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OF 50-70 MPH, WHEN THE TRUCK HITS IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD, INCLUDING BOTZ DOTS AND POTHOLES, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK ENTERS INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE, WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE, AND REQUIRES BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 TIMES PER MONTH. I'VE REPLACED THE STEERING BOX, STEERING DAMPENER, TIE RODS AND TIE ROD ENDS, TIRES, SHOCKS, AND DRAG LINK, AND NONE OF THESE HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I ALSO ADDED A STEERING GEAR BRACE, AND THIS DIDN'T HELP EITHER.
