    Hey guys I'm at a dead end here need help. Long story short I had a jacknife about 2 weeks ago bc of a car crashing on the highway in front of me and me not killing him or myself.. the truck has not run right since. I get a "skating feeling when running highway speeds around 55mph and can't go faster with out the fear of loosing control.. I got a alignment yesterday the front and back were off and got fixed. Went threw the frame and all bushings and everything is in great shape. Truck feels solid again BUT it's still slightly skating even when bob tailing I feel like something's pushing me side to side. Some one recommended getting my cab mount looked at would a bad mount cause that?

    How long have you owned this prostar? If it is more than a year and you have never changed cab mount bushings, do them! At my shop I change them on 2-3 trucks a week. Inexpensive and not terribly hard to do. Not saying it is your problem, but very well could be. Have them checked.

    Check the steers for any flat spots.

    So it's bad around turns and uneven roads it just pulls me everywhere would a cab mount bushing be the reason for this?
