Mine 540 is doing the same thing. The left strut is gone. I stood and watched from the sidewalk while my son drove the front left wheel over a recessed manhole cover. The wheel vibrated violently for a few bounces.

In looking closer, the left strut is leaking, so I'm replacing both of them. Also, the left thrust bushing is loose, so I'm replacing both of them with 750 bushings.

Should have the parts by this weekend.
