| Vehicle front end shifts back and forth when behind tractor trailers on highway. situation is dangerous when tractor trailer pulls out in front of me. not due to tailgating, since it is the worst when approximately 5 car lengths are between tractor trailer and me. car is difficult to control due to shifting. front end was checked and there are no alignment problems, and tires have been replaced. shifting continues to occur even with traction control turned off. aerodynamics problem or vehicle stability problem? also own a 1998 diamante that does not have this problem. problem has occurred since vehicle purchase and severity of problem has remained the same.*ak | |||
