| Description of the problem | Brought vehicle home from dealer with heavy vibration at 65 mph. Took vehicle to dealer, which couldn't balance tires, they sent them to a tire store. Tires were balanced, vibration better but still there. Took vehicle to another tire store where one tire was replaced and other 3 tires balanced again. Vibration much better, but still notice slight shake and vibration starting at 57-60 mph. Feels like a wobble, feel it in the seat and steering wheel. Dealer says that tires can't be balanced beyond 55 mph. Finding other instances of this on websites for 2006 rams. Doesn't feel like road feel from tight suspension, feels like something is loose in wheel assembly or tires are still not perfect. Could be driveshaft. *jb |
