After hitting a bump at highway speed, the front end enters violent steering oscillation (death wobble) that requires slowing to a stop to recover. Caused by worn front-end components: track bar bushing, ball joints, tie rod ends, or steering damper. Repairs typically run $200-$1,500. Severity: high.
