 Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
I'm experiencing this strange thing when I travel over rough/bumpy roads, etc. It's tough to describe, but it's kind of like the steering is briefly disconnected. Like there's no feedback coming through the wheel -- so I don't feel in control. Can't tell if it's some bad suspension part or if something is broken. It's a little scary at higher speeds.
If anyone can give me a clue -- I'm guessing I should get this checked out.

slow down on bumpy roads; sounds like you are going faster over the bumps than the shocks can control the wheel hop.

Sometimes the wheel hop can just be bad shocks though. I just replaced some old rear shocks and put in new ones and it was like night and day. I hadn't changed them since getting the truck last summer so I thought that was how it rode but now it is soooooooo much better. I sat check your suspension components I think I get what you mean.

That feeling you get is from one or both of your front tires not touching the ground. Slow down or get better shocks or both.

Thanks for the responses. That makes sense to me.
Since I'm not driving any differently than I usually do, I guess my suspension needs a little attention.
