My 2014 Express 4WD suspension with 73k miles is completely stock. Lately I’ve been experiencing some vibration throughout the entire truck. Not necessarily through the steering system or at the steering wheel. Last week I had the tires rotated and re-balanced at Discount Tire and it seems to have helped. But this past weekend while making a sweeping left hand turn at about 45-50 mph the entire truck started shaking severely. Once I came out of the turn it smoothed out but it wasn’t a pleasant feeling. I looked in the front wheel wells to see if there was anything obvious and I noticed in the top mounting areas for the strut assemblies there is some hydraulic oil and also on the shock tubes. Strangely it is the same on both the left and right sides. I can understand this occurring randomly on one of them but has anyone experienced a failure and leakage of both front shocks simultaneously? Also, the truck is not exhibiting the usual continual bouncing motion after hitting a bump that's common with worn shocks. The truck’s suspension is not abused. It’s mostly highway driving with the occasional off-highway for camping and mtn biking trips.TIA
