Bed Shake

If your truck bed seems to be shaking more these days and your truck has some years/miles on it, check your rear shocks. My '07 only has 25,000 miles on it but I was suspecting the rear shocks were not working. I was getting bed shake on even little bumps and at highway speed a bigger bump would make the back end jump to the side (crabbing). I got on the tailgate and bounced a few times and I could hear them 'hissing'. That was all I needed to know - got on Rock Auto and ordered the factory replacements. Big difference in the truck now. I guess they can go bad from just age as much as anything else. They're very easy to put on and no jacking or wheel removal is required if you can get under the truck a little.
