WHEN CAR DRIVES OVER A BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT THAT WHOLE FRONT END OF VEHICLE SHAKES ALONG WITH STEERING COLUMN. IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES FOR SHAKING TO STOP- BRAKING MAKES IT WORSE - MUST SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE 4 TIMES TO CONRAD'S AUTO SERVICE - FIRST THEY REPLACED STABILIZER BAR, CAR STILL SHOOK. THEN REPLACED TIRES-STILL SHOOK. THIRD VISIT REPLACED SHOCKS-STILL SHOOK. FOURTH VISIT REPLACED BRAKES AND CAR STILL SHOOK. CONRAD'S CHECKED OVER ENTIRE FRONT END AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING- VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY-BECAUSE SHAKING MAKES DRIVING UNCONTROLLABLE. *AK *TS *JB
