    Death Wobbles

    In the last week or so I have been experiencing what I can only describe as death wobbles, these death wobbles occur at speeds above 80 k's resulting in sever shaking of the steering wheel which continues to increase until speed is reduced. I have had a quick look but nothing stands out, I was thinking maybe steering box but not sure. So if anyone has any idea's I would appreciate your input.

    Last time I got that was wheel alignment. I'd be checking that first.

    I did think of that, but the wobbles are extremely violent.
