5 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/07/1998

In going from a gas station to a lane of travel where the steering wheel is turned so the four wheels leave the incline at different intervals, the truck severely rocks to a point where you feel that it is going to tip over. This condition seems to increase in intensity until the four wheels come back into alignment, then the condition stops. The wife is scared that the Blazer is going to tip over. The dealer says I don't know how to drive it. I have owned for wheel- drive vehicles since 1966. Jeep wagoneers, eagles, cherokee, grand cherokee, and suburaru. I have never before experinced the feeling of tipping over. The dealer said he can't do anything, Chevrolet wants me to take it to another dealer. I can show anybody what happens as it happens everytime I gas up, and turn the wheels to leave the gas station. I believe it is a suspension problem. I do a lot of off road driving and have never had a problem of feeling I am going to tip over, only going out of a gas station. Dangerous situation.
