Description of the problem	From aug 08 to present at speeds of 40 mph and up my 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 when hitting a bump the front end develops the "death wobble" have had to two different dodge dealers and have paid to have all ball joints, tie rod ends, steering box etc replaced and problem is still there now i start looking online and i see i am one of many out there with this problem. Something needs to be done to have dodge come up with an actual fix for this it is very dangerous and i have personally had this happen on the pa turnpike and numerous other roads and been very close to some deadly accidents with it.
