Front End Issues With An H1

Hey guys, we have an H1 in the family, and it's giving us a little trouble. Runs great, but when driving and we hit a bump, the front end starts into a wobble and you almost have to come to a stop to get it to quit. It will rip the steering wheel out of your hand if you're not careful. Any idea what to look for? It doesn't have a lot of miles on it, and doesn't see any kind of weather or off road situations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey gstacky,I would check out your shock absorbers.If 1 or both have lost their air or oil that could cause your wheel(s) to shake out of control.

You need some serious steering work, your steering box will definitely need an adjustment but it could also need to be replaced. You probably need a pitman and an idler arm and even some tie rods. But the most likely cause of 'The Death Wobble' is a seriously out of adjustment steering box!!!
