Trailer towing swerve recovery - GIF

[Frank S]

I'll tell you something that can be just as scary. This happened with an empty Ford pickup and no trailer. We were driving along and hit a small pot hole disguised with dust blown in it from a dust storm we had just gone through, when suddenly the old truck went into the death wobble at around 60 MPH. I had driven that truck for over a year and it had never done that before. I'd had Chevy's do it and other Fords but never that one Once I got it slowed down and the death wobble stopped I made for the next exit that had a fuel stop to check the front end. Nothing seemed to be loose I checked the air pressure and 1 tire was low the 1 that hit the pothole after getting the air pressures up in all the tires we took off again to this day the truck has never had the death wobble again.
