When I go over bumps it feels like I may loose control of car. The wheel seems to be "chasing" when I go over bumps. I don't thinks it has shocks and struts since it has air suspension? Any help anyone?

thanks

HAve you checked the steering components in the front end, especially the ball joints?

Thank-you. I had taken it to a shop prior to your response and that was exactly the problem. Thnaks.

Thanks again for your correct response! Actually I had tires balanced the the ball joints replaced should I again have the car balanced? I feel a slight shimmy around 70-74. With toyo tires instead of my mich.

THis may sound funny, but do you feel the vibration in the steering or the seat?

Only in the steering so I assume it has something to do with the front. As I mentioned I had the ball joints replaced which made it run ALOT better but I still feel a slight vibration not all the time but around 70-75? Could any other part possibly be worn out? I have only 123,000 miles

thanks

Chances are it is either tire balance or alignment. If you feel it in the steering, you're right. It's coming from the front tires. When you feel it in the seat, it's the rear. Did you have it aligned when the work was done or the tires balanced?
