My truck is currently at 21000 miles. I've experienced the 'death wobble' 4-5 times in the past but on a recent trip of only 250 miles, it occurred at least 10 times. Travel speed was between 60-70mph. Usually happened on county roads that aren't perfectly smooth, but even on fresh asphalt....one little bump can cause problems. I believe it has something to do with the steering and suspension linkage, vehicle weight…

The shaking went away as soon as i slowed down to about 68mph, and did…

So now truck is in the shop again for the same issue. It does not matter if it is a highway, a…

At about 60 mph on a highway and driving in a straight line i experienced a violent shaking in the front end which almost sent me off of the road. The only way to stop it was to slow down rather quickly and regain control. The more i research i found it is named "death wobble". It is a very random and dangerous situation and needs to be fixed. I now have a $46,000 truck that i have absolutely no trust in and will…
