More info would be helpful, like:



Do you flat tow it behind a motorhome? This is really rough on front suspension bushings and just before %26quot;Death Wobble sets in, some have reported this %26quot;driving on ice%26quot; feeling.



How are your ball joints? Bad joints will allow the wheels to wander around abit giving the %26quot;on ice%26quot; feel.



Also check your steering box for tightness to the frame and for excessive play in the sector shaft.



Death Wobble is an uncontrollable shimmy that threatens to rip the steering wheel out of your hands above a certain speed and doesn't quit until you nearly come to a stop. A complete front suspension rebuild is the cure.
