Fors Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 My truck does this, so did my old s-10, so does my gov vehicle f350. I feel as tho it has something to do with the transmission wanting to shift at 45mph and doesnt. Like you said, it will do it at 45mph sometimes but as soon as I speed up a little it stops, I can then slow down to 45mph and it will not do it again.

JC03SS Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would also say tires or a tierod. Mine did something really similar and it was the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1skss Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 My truck started doing this immediately after I put brand new tires on my 26" wheels ...I thought for sure my suspension was gonna e the problem but now I'm gonna have to inspect the tires to begin with. Funny thing it wouldn't do this with the old tires I had in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyWCA Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I found this forum and joined it just for that same issue, Mines done it now for 3 years, Ive had several shops go through the front end and find nothing, Anything that was even a little worn I had them replace, Ive been through 3 sets of rims and tires, new brake rotors yada yada and nothin yet. Im going to maybe pick up some new shocks and try it out, Truck has 117K on it and still the original shocks so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepingcrna Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 My .02. Similar issue here. Had an average small town shop go through suspension. Don't have a great shop within a couple hours distance at least. Mine does it on 2 different tire/wheel combos. DJM LCA's w/ djm shocks, now updated to belltechs. Had horrible bump steer at low speeds when I hit a bump. Not out of control, but puckered me up on many occasions. Recently this shop replaced pitman arm, idler arm and inner tie rods...not outer which pissed me off. Might as well have done that also. Said they were good tho. Moog parts. Alignment shop said it was well within normal specs. Evidently no one decided to drive it after the fact. Maybe it's something in the steering or in the work that was just done. I have no idea. I've even redone the djm install to make sure I did it right. It's beyond me at this point. My advice, find the best suspension shop you can and take it in when you have a few days...even if it is hours away. I'm guessing my issue is something a reputable and experienced shop will figure out fairly quickly. Again, my .02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyWCA Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 First Drive down, it did not do it BUT it does not do it everytime. This is a good sign but does not say for sure if it fixed the issue or not, I will keep reporting how its going and if the issue comes back on a side note, The truck ride is really Firm compared to the OEM's. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
