Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Ball joints separate from the socket or break off entirely, allowing the wheel to fall or be pushed under the truck, in some cases while driving over a dip in the road.
- Wheels detach from the axle during driving, causing loss of control and the vehicle to leave the roadway.
- Air ride suspension bags or the compressor fail, causing the truck to slowly lower on one or all corners with no warning light.
- Rear leaf springs collapse when towing a trailer, leaving the truck sitting unlevel.
- Owners describe a 'death wobble' where the vehicle shakes and becomes hard to control, sometimes tied to brakes applying on their own.
- Spindle contact with the lower control arms causes damage on both sides and unexpected jerking while downshifting.
