Question:

The first time I was making a u turn on a 4 lane hwy and yesterday 2 90 turns. The car started to vibrate to the point of sacking the RV so I had stop. The car behind me said the front wheels on car were jumping all over. What can I do to fix this?

Expert Reply:
Sounds like the angle of your tow bar isn't level enough which is causing the front steering of your towed vehicle to behave erratically. I'd guess that the tow bar sits lower on the front. This is a very common issue and the solution is a high low adapter which allows the tow bar to sit perfectly level. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry as well as a page the shows how to pick out the correct one.
