2007 5.9cr quad cab 4x4-this thing is driving me insane
at about 70 -75 mph going down the interstate, if i hit a bump with the left front tire or im turning gently to the right, the truck will start hopping up and down and dang near rattle my teath out. truck has 70,000 miles on it. i have been under the truck trying to find a loose steering component and all of them are tight as can be.
i have not replaced the shocks yet but i have never had a bad shock let a truck bounce this bad. the steering wheel does not go slack or bounce left to right. it just feels like the left front tire is jumping 6 inches of the ground over and over again at a very fast pace. i have never experienced anything like this before.
i dont know if it matters but i am running perrelli scorpion tires instead of the stock mitchellins. its about time to change them also.
the main problem is that im leaving to go to Iraq again and i want to make sure the truck is ok for my wife. but i cant afford to buy new tires and shocks until i get over their and start getting paid.I spent too much money on my sons christmas presents.
any ideas?
