“While driving my 2010 Dodge power wagon ( cc, 5.7 liter engine with no modification) at highway speeds I hit a small bump and the front end began to shimmy , really bounce out of control for a moment or two. I slowed down, gripped the steering wheel and it eventually settled down. This shimmy isn't consistent as it does not always happen, even over the same bump on the road. Help.”
