Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Front or rear suspension components separate from the vehicle while driving, in one case causing the wheel to detach and leading to a crash.
- Lower ball joint separation causes the truck to drop suddenly, even at very low speeds such as backing into a parking space.
- The rear of the truck fishtails or swings back and forth on the highway, which a dealer attributed to the factory-equipped tires.
- Tires develop dry rot, cracking, or sidewall splitting on the inside surface, sometimes leading to sudden air loss or blowouts at highway speed.
- An axle separates from the vehicle on the freeway, producing an abrupt jerk and loss of control.
