Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Owners describe a violent front-end shaking known as 'death wobble' that starts after hitting a bump, pothole, expansion joint, or bridge seam, usually at highway speeds between 45 and 70 mph.
Steering becomes uncontrollable during the shaking episode and only stops once the driver brakes hard and slows to under 20 to 30 mph.
Several owners report the shaking recurred repeatedly across different road conditions and speeds even after dealer visits, with one truck shaking as low as 50 mph after being told nothing was wrong.
High-pressure valve stems on aluminum dual-rear-wheel rims are reported to fail or corrode where the TPMS stem contacts the rim, causing slow to rapid air loss in front and rear outer tires.
One owner reported the truck independently shifted out of its driving lane when hitting a bump, which was linked to front suspension adjustment.
