I just returned from AK to WI after working there for the summer. Took my 2005 Hawk on my 2006 Tundra double cab and all went very well.
Once I got back towards the midwest with their concrete roads I developed (or noticed)a rapid bounce in the vehicle timed exactly with the size of the sections of concrete built into the highway. At 60 mph it seemed about like 2 bounces/second. This happened on older sections of concrete, went away completely on new sections of concrete and never happened on asphalt.
i watched other vehicles I passed or were passing me and couldn't see their vehicle or tires shaking but that might be hard to detect.
So my question is if others have had this happen with their rigs on these types of roads?
I have original factory shocks all around at just over 100K miles, Ride Rite air springs in the rear, a Hellwig rear stabilizer bar and Michelin load range E tires. My thoughts go to replacing the shocks which I will probably do anyway given the miles on my truck, but what have others experienced?
Thanks for any input,
Fred
