Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Front lower control arms or ball joints have broken or separated, causing sudden loss of steering control at highway speed.
  • Rear air ride suspension has failed, sometimes preceded by a warning light, leading to erratic bouncing and reduced steering control.
  • Tires have lost pressure from small punctures, developed sidewall blowouts, or shown premature dry rot and low tread well before expected tire life.
  • Rear-end sway has occurred while towing, with owners saying the truck felt pushed sideways by wind or a trailer at moderate highway speeds.
  • Wheel and suspension assemblies have come apart while driving at low speed, pulling the truck hard to one side and leaving it undrivable.
  • The factory spare-tire lowering mechanism has failed to work with the included jack tools, preventing access to the spare after a flat.
