Consumer Description

VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE AND CAB VIBRATION WHEN HITTING UNEVEN SURFACE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70MPH.) WHEN THE WOBBLE OCCURS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AROUND 40MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO GO AWAY AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE MILEAGE WHEN IT STARTED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40K AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WITH 67K I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FORCED OFF THE ROAD AS I COULDN'T STEER IT AWAY FROM THE MEDIAN. AS SOON AS MY SPEED DIPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH I REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT EXIT FOR INSPECTION. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS IS BAD BALL JOINTS ON BOTH FRONT END SIDES. BE PREPARED TO SLOW TO 40MPH QUICKLY ON A BUSY FREEWAY IF THIS EVER OCCURS TO YOU.
