Would a broken tie rod cause an SUV to violently rock side to side driving down the road? Last Sunday I saw something that I've never seen out on the highway before. We were on Hwy 24 through the Tennessee hills and up ahead there was a gray medium sized SUV with the flashers on going maybe 30-35 mph. Every second or so that car was consistently rocking side to side and not just a little, but probably bottoming out the shocks on both sides. The tires looked to be all the same size and inflated and the car was not weaving down the highway. I was even worried to pass it for fear that something was about to let go. Obviously there was a major problem and in that desolate area on a Sunday afternoon there was no help for miles. What would have caused a vehicle to do that?
