Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Steering wheel and front end shake violently after hitting a bump or rough pavement at highway speed, a pattern owners call the 'death wobble', which stops once the vehicle slows down.
Vehicle wanders or drifts side to side within the lane at speeds around 45 to 70 mph, making it hard to hold a straight line.
Excessive play or looseness in the steering wheel is reported alongside the wandering, even at low mileage.
One owner found a shock bracket welded to the axle had broken off and was contacting the tire, producing a grinding noise and a bouncy ride.
A separate complaint attributed slop in the front control arm bushings to an aftermarket suspension kit, which allowed erratic steering movement.
