Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe a 'death wobble': violent front-end shaking triggered by hitting a bump or dip at highway speeds between roughly 45 and 65 mph, often requiring hard braking to regain control.
  • Some owners report the wobble recurs even after replacing steering and suspension parts, including full front suspension rebuilds.
  • Front suspension inspections tied to the shaking found worn ball joints, track bar bushings, and track bars needing replacement.
  • One owner lost rear dual-wheel hub cap covers on the highway shortly after purchase, calling the retention design flawed.
  • A low-mileage truck (35,876 miles) showed uneven right front tire wear traced to ball joint and track bar bushing wear.
  • One incident describes the front end shimmying at 25 mph, requiring a restart to regain control, with ball joints, tie rod, shocks, and other suspension parts diagnosed as worn.
