Possible Wheel or suspension issue.

[ghampton]

I am having an issue with my fifth wheel that I am wondering if anyone else has experienced. When I accelerate from a stop while turning the wheel I am getting a bump-bump-bump in my truck steering wheel. Feels like an issue with wheels-brakes-suspension on trailer. It only happens when I am turning when accelerating like leaving an RV site or a gas pump. If I accelerate in straight line it does not happen. It also does not happen when moving, only when accelerating.
I have four new tires on the trailer, so I don;t think I have an issue with tire balance.
Any suggestions as to what this might be would be appreciated.

I'm not seeing the connection between truck steering problem and trailer suspension.
Problem may be more noticeable when hooked up to 5'vr but I think you need to be inspecting the front end components of your truck

Thanks for the quick responses. I have a 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500 LTZ four wheel drive. I have not encountered this issue when not pulling the fifth wheel. Although I will say that the three of four bumps seems to be getting more pronounced over time and the whole truck shudders. I have not considered that it might be an issue with the truck. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot that possibility since it does not seem to happen unless I am pulling the trailer.

This could be a real possibly for the problem. Hard to know much with no information on the truck. chevman

Many long bed trucks experience drive line shudder under acceleration. Tell us about your truck. Chris

My truck did the same thing. Come to find out, it was my sway bar on my trailer. I had it adjusted too tight. Unhook yours and move the truck while turning and see if the bump goes away.
