Was in the mountains yesterday. No really hard trails, just a dirt road with a lot of loose small rocks. than driving home, the truck was all over the road. If i hit a pothole, the truck jerks towards that tire. If there is a dip in the road while cornering it upsets the entire truck. Any ideas before I take in? My confidence in my dealer is almost gone.

How fast were you going, how dramatic is this jerking & how upset was your truck?

Sounds like maybe your steering stabilizer has either come loose or completely off. I would take a quick look under the front of the vehicle, and see if maybe the weld has broken or to see if the stabilizer is still there.
Just my opinion...

DRTYFN, I was going between 60 and 85moh down the canyon. As far as the truck being upset, it was like you just ran over a 2ft boulder at about 25mph. This only happens at the higher speeds. I know it's not a damn porche, but this is something new the truck is doing. It leans farther than normal into corners going left or right. and I definatley feel all of the bumps (small and big) in the steering wheele now too.
RIC-H2, stabilizer is there and tight.

Shocks sound like a likely culprit as well as front or rear stabilizer bars, but it sounds like the shocks would be the answer in my completely unalduterated and indisputed non-expert opinion.

I have a feeling it could have been the surface combined with going fast. I had this experience one, albeit with a Jeep and not the H2. But I remember the feeling you describe.

Check the rear sway bar links like Alec said.
But I've got to go with Zing. I've had this experience a couple of times when I was out playing rally driver at 70-80 down some gravel back roads. You've got to remember these things are big heavy scows and need to be flogged to get them to do what you want.

Thanks Alec, i'm looking into everything today. Bushings are a concern to me. Shocks, swaybar, links, and everything else.

Tim,
Maybe your center of gravity is off due to your new rack lights. I guess it's divine payback for stealing them out from under me.

Big Z, tires are pointing in on the bottom more than they should. I am changing out my shocks and steering stabilizer. Than I am getting a front end alignement done. Everything else is tight and I don't see anything cracked or borken in there. The only other concern is the bushings on everything.

Re: All over the road?
Tim, did you ever get this problem narrowed down?
I had the same problem, the castor and toe was waaaayy out. Now my swaybar has moved off to one side really bad. So I assume the swaybar bushings are shot. (having trouble locating any that can be lubed)
I was just searching threads, and wondered what you found.

Re: All over the road?
Yes, I did solve it. That truck is no longer around. 
Sorry, no advice on this one. After those issues I replaced the shocks, steering stabilzer, front end alingment, balance tires, and all was better.
Oh, Pitman/ idler were also replaced.
So it had to be one of those problems or a couple put together.
sorry. |

Re: All over the road?
Considering you posted the same message 3 times in a row are you sure the driving problem wasn't due to the 12 pack you downed out there?!
