I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4 X 4 quad cab with the V-10 manual transmission. Since I purchased it new in March 1999, I have twice replaced the rr track bar ($200 part, not including labor) and the steering intermediate shaft ($89 part, not including labor). This truck wanders all over the road and a heavy clunk is felt in the steering wheel. The dealer mechanics keep telling me "that's typical of this vehicle, " but there is no recall. Why" I have also noticed an abundance of coolant loss at each oil change since about 10,000 miles...up to 1 gallon per 3000 miles. The radiator pressure checked ok. Dealer mechanics and chat rooms have told me this is another "typical" problem with this truck. Apparently the antifreeze blows through the headgasket and into the exhaust system where it evaporates. Still no recalls. Why are automanufacturers getting away with this"

Stabilizer shock on 4-wd models is mounted below front end. It is the lowest part of the vehicle, and when it hits an object, it bends the shaft and causes loss of steering. I work in construction, and it has happenned to me twicesince last summer.

Stabilizer bar very weak for vehicle resulting in bending when riding over pot hole and ruts. Mjs
