Consumer Description

DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH AND THE FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING APART. STEERING WHEEL SHAKING BAD AND WHEELS FELT WOBBLY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOTICEABLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE AT OR ABOVE 45MPH. WHAT SCARED ME THE MOST I WAS COMING UP ON TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BRAKE. BRAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS WOBBLY IS VERY SCARY AND FEELS AS IF THE WHOLE THING IS COMING APART.
