    Death wobble over the past 5 months (it is now 1/30/2020) the entire front end of the vehicle shakes violently and uncontrollably at a high rate of speed, typically highway speeds, ranging anywhere from 50-80 mph. Although, it has happened at a speed of about 40-45.

The vehicle shakes so violently that it becomes hard to control and has to come to a stop to regain full control.

After clearing the guard rail i was able to ease to shoulder…
