problem #1

Jan 122016

Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 129,000 miles

I was driving on the highway at highway speeds and the truck violently began to shake on a road trip. I brought to a shop and they replaced a wheel bearing and a tie rod end and I had replaced both tie rods 6 months earlier. On the trip home the ride was much improved but still had some issues but my tires had uneven wear and had to be replaced and once I did that it was about 95% but is beginning to go back to a slight wobble when bumps are hit and I have researched it to find out many possible solutions but no 100% fix and it sounds like its a common problem called the death wobble. Dodge should have come out with a fix for this I have replaced tie rod ends under a recall and to more times now.
