    I second the worn spring bushing. Probably groved out your hanger and is popping in and out of place.

    I had the same problem on my peterbuilt, turns out it was a broken spring on the front end.

    I had that problem in my old 800. Turned out to be a broken leaf spring.

    Same problem with a T600 around the same miles. Bushings were completely shot in springs.
