After hearing a slight clanking sound, the front end wobbles and shakes whenever I take any kind of left turn (10 degrees or more) at higher speeds (50+ MPH.) It also happens sometimes over uneven roads like bridges or overpasses at higher speeds. Perfectly fine while straight or taking right-hand turns.

Hi harris_jr,

Thank you for the donation.

I believe this is known as the "Death Wobble " and is a known fault that is rather difficult to overcome at times. If you google your search on " Death Wobble" you would find a lot of such atricles.

Hope it is helpful.

Thanks for all your help! I looked and found that the sway bar had broken at the screw near the top and just replaced both sides and the problems fixed!
