Description of the problem	When i had my truck serviced the technician told me my left tire had been rubbing on the shock absorber bracket. The tire had a smooth spot where it had been rubbing on the bracket, and there was a second tire on the back with a smooth spot. The tire in the back had been rotated from the front to the back at the last oil change. I took the truck to the dealer and they welded a extension on to the stopper to keep the tire from turning into the bracket. They told me my tires were to big for the truck, i put 245/75/ r16 on the truck in june 2003 and have had no trouble out of them. The truck was at the dealer in february 2004 to get the front end checked, this was eight months after the tires had been on the truck, i believe if the tire was rubbing the technician would have noticed. I will not have to replace the tires because the rubbing was caught early. I wonder how many people are driving around with this problem and don`t know. I have seen other complaints about this same problem on your website,i guess dodge is going to wait till their customers start getting killed before they acknowledge the problem and fix it. In the past year i have had to have the instrument panel replaced and both the hub assemblies on the front,i am buying another truck in the next year and it will definitely will not be a dodge. *nm
