Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe a violent front-end shake or "death wobble" that starts after hitting a bump or pothole at highway speeds, often 50-70 mph.
  • The wobble reportedly forces drivers to brake hard and slow to around 40 mph before the shaking stops.
  • Some owners report replacing tie rod ends, track bars, drag links, ball joints, steering dampers, shocks, and tires without the wobble going away.
  • Several complaints describe the issue recurring at multiple mileage points, sometimes worsening from initial onset to later, higher-mileage incidents.
  • One owner reported losing control and crashing into a ditch after the front end began shaking and vibrating following a bump in the road.
