HIT A CRACK IN THE ROAD ( NOT A POTHOLE OR ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT ). STEERING WHEEL SHOOK BACK AND FORTH 3-4 INCHES. NOISY, HOOD SHAKING STRONGLY. AGGRESSIVE BRAKING TO BELOW AROUND 40 MPH TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE. HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 3 MILES. DROVE HOME AT 35 MPH. I WASN'T TOO POPULAR WITH THE REST OF THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC.
