What owners wrote

I was driving in my truck with my friend on sr 101. Approximate speed was 60 MPH. We went around a bend in the road over a concrete bridge expansion joint where the pavement changed levels. The truck jumped and began violently vibrating and forced me into passenger side guard rail of the bridge. The vibrating continued until I slowed down to approx 10 MPH. The problem I thought was fixed with new steering stabilizer and shocks, a.k.a. The death wobble has returned.

At or around 55 to 60 miles per hour when hitting a irregularity in roadway truck will bounce out of control until I slam the brakes and slow down to 35 miles per hour . The truck is completely stock. The dealership said it was the tires. These are the stock tires on the truck and they are in good shape. I do not fell I should have to replace stock tires on a new truck to stop it from shimming when over 55 mile an hour. This was a expensive truck and I am very disappointed in it.
