the roads suck here and it blows 50-75 mph cross winds here in wyoming,my vote is look at your struts/shocks if they have lost their dampening you could be blown all over the road and it wont handle bumps at all.

I left the retail life 13 years ago and went to fleet maint first with united airlines now with a state college fleet,it is a totally different atmosphere good steady pay you get to know all the vehicles very well. I maintain in a 1 guy shop 80 vehicles from trucks,buses ,heavy equipment, and about 80 pieces of small equipment…not a bad gig plus retirement and good benefits.

I was in the same boat 22 years ago,how I changed that situation is I got the hell out of the corporate goodyear shop I was in and went to work for a small independent shop,me and the owner and his wife thats it,I learned more and did more in 2 years there than 10 years any where else.
