Freightliner Cascadia Front End Shaking Problem

Hi everyone,

I'm going to attempt to post/upload a copy of said repairs previously July 2020 vs. Now August 2021. I've done everything on this list a 2nd time, plus had stabilizer bar replaced this time around . Hoping anyone can help, just went to freightliner in Harrisburg PA and no luck either.

 

I can’t help you I’m in the same boat my truck is shaking like an earthquake, had it in few shops nobody can tell me what’s happening ‍♂️ put new tires drums breaks alignment still nothing.

 

I have the same issue and replace all the U joints Drive shaft the carrier bearings the torque rod’s new tires drums brakes but nothing is helping.

 

Hmmmmm. Have any of these trucks been wrecked?

The best alignment shop I know of is Burns Brothers in Ripon California next to the Love's.

They can quite literally rebuild the whole truck.

You guys had 3 axle alignments done right?

 

Went through the same thing with my old Columbia before I replaced it. Never did solve the problem. All I can say is they are called Freight shakers for a reason.

 

I would check on where my front tires were made. Stamped on the sidewall. If they are a Chinese tire, good chance the tire is out of round and can't be balanced. Quality control at the plant could be the culprit.
I had the mirrors come loose on my truck, running a set of crap tires on my steer axle. I changed them to a brand of tire with Made in the USA stamped on the sidewall. Also, I placed a liter of coolant in each tire. Solved my problem, no shake and my new tires are running perfect and wearing great so far. Also tightened my mirrors up. May solve your problem.

 

Yes I had a three axle alignment done, and I also have brand new Bridgestone tires. Makes me wonder if it may be injectors?

 

Was the truck ever damaged?

 

I just put brand new bridge stones on I had them balanced

No not that I’m aware of,I’ve been in this truck for almost 2 years Never had this issue.

 

GO Google Tru Balance.
