Glad you made it back safely. I know you lost your steering dampner. That would be part of it. Check for loose steering ends or worn track bar bushings. Are your tires balanced? Hopefully you find it w/out too much grief.

bushings shot. so were the bearings. but i never heard any noise from them.
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

It is somenthing that once you experience it you dont wish on your worst enemy.Last time I broke the Trac-Bar Drop Bracket to cause it.

glad you found your problems. bearings going bad can be a VERY bad thing... not a good day when a front wheel passes you down the road.
