I'm driving down the street today about 45mph and the body starts shaking left and right like I'm steering left and right real fast. i had my brother in the car, he said he felt it also. So I let him out on the side of the road and backed up a ways. I drove by him and then stopped and picked him up. He said from his point of view it looked as if the body was shaking left and right but I was holding the wheel straight. When I got home and made a left into the driveway it felt as if the driver's side rear wheel was going to fall off. I checked the lug nuts and they're tight. I slid under the car and nothing looks bent or broken. Have any of you guys had this happen. Do you know what this is a symptom of? Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

I think you need to take it to someone who is an expert on front ends/suspension...you have some bad components there...ball joints, tie rod ends, controll arm bushings...and the assist cylinder...maybe even the idler arm...and steering box need checking too...not to mention shocks...
I suspect everything is loose enough that when taken in total, you need rebuilding.....I wonder maybe even the conrtoll valve...

check the trailing arm shims, are they still there? Is the cotter pin still there?Just a free check, good luck.
