Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Owners report the required 80 psi rear tire pressure feels excessive on an unloaded truck, causing skidding or loss of contact with the road, sometimes in wet or cold conditions.
Some describe a violent bounce or wobble at highway speed, occasionally severe enough to require easing off the accelerator and drifting lanes to regain control.
Several report a loose or worn jam nut at the drag link causing a clanking noise from the front end at low speed, requiring re-alignment.
A few report rear wheels locking up unexpectedly at low speed with the dealer unable to diagnose the cause.
Some describe a loud bang felt through the floorboard when driving over railroad tracks or bumps at around 35 mph, with dealers unable to reproduce or document the issue.
One report describes the steering stabilizer failing over a dip in the road, making the driver-side wheel feel unsteady, though a second inspection could not duplicate the failure.
