Hey Doug. It looks like you need to pull the number 16 fuse in the engine compartment. GM sent out a bulletin about the 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrains with 4 cylinder engines. Pulling this fuse will address the wobble you're experiencing. You'll also need to install the Roadmaster Charge Line Kit item # RM-156-25.
I have attached the bulletin GM sent out below.

Thanks for your help, Jerred, We haven't tried your suggestion yet, decided to drive vehicle instead to our next destination. When we leave here tomorrow, we will hook up and give it a try. I did locate #16 though, Hope it works will let you know, thanks again. Doug Cetina
