Consumer Description

DEATH WOBBLE. VIOLENT SHAKING AND WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURS IF YOU HIT A BUMP WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR GREATER. THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND BECOMES TOUGH OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I'VE BEEN FORCED INTO ONCOMING LANES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PAVED ROADS AND INTO OTHER LANES ON 2-3 LANE HIGHWAYS. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OPPOSING TRAFFIC TO CONTEND WITH AT THE TIME OR SERIOUS INJURY AND FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED EXCESSIVE BREAK DUST ON THE RIMS AFTER SHORT TRIPS (250 MILES OR LESS).
