Consumer Description

AFTER HAVING TRUCK IN FOR DEATH WOBBLE AND NEW STEERING DAMPENER INSTALLED, TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY WOBBLING AGAIN AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 GOING ACROSS SOME BUMPS OR BRIDGES. THE WHOLE TRUCK, DASH, STEERING, WHEELS AND SEATS SHAKE UNTIL YOU SLOW BACK DOWN TO 50. THERE IS VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. SO NOW TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS A HIGHWAY, A STREET OR A ROAD. CERTAIN BRIDGES, OVERPASSES OR BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE WOBBLE TO START. DEATHLY FRIGHTENING FOR 10 YEAR DAUGHTER RIDING IN TRUCK WITH ME.
