Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Front end shakes or wobbles violently when hitting bumps or expansion joints at highway speed, often called the death wobble, requiring drivers to slow to 30-40 mph to regain control.
- Tire sidewalls dry rot and tread begins to separate at low mileage, with the manufacturer offering only partial reimbursement rather than replacement.
- Steering wheel and front tires shake after hitting curves or uneven pavement, sometimes traced to a steering damper.
- Truck bounces and sways left or right on rough roads, causing loss of control and, in one case, a crash and cabin smoke after a module failure.
- Dealers have replaced dual shocks, tires, or steering dampers to try to stop the shaking, but owners report the wobble sometimes returns.
