Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD steering wheel shaking violently due to centerlink bearing failure causing death wobble on Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

Some Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD owners report experiencing violent shaking of the steering wheel, commonly referred to as the "death wobble," often attributed to centerlink bearing failure. This serious issue can arise from various factors, including unbalanced or misaligned wheels, tire damage, bent rims, bad wheel bearings, worn engine mounts, and loose lug nuts. Additionally, less common causes such as bad axles, worn suspension or steering parts, incorrect tire pressure, and braking system issues may also contribute to steering wheel shaking. It is essential for owners to address the root cause of the centerlink bearing failure and inspect related components to resolve the violent shaking and ensure safe driving conditions. Prompt action is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain vehicle safety.
