| Description of the problem | This is a megacab (solid front axle) and the front end started shaking so bad that i was not able to steer and it was very hard to slow the truck down. Only reason it did not cause a crash was because the cars next to me were able to get out of my way fast enough. I replaced the track bar bushings, the steering damper, aligned the front end and installed an aftermarket steering box brace. The issue happened again 3 more times and i am no longer able to drive the truck because it is way too unsafe to operate on public roads. I have seen thousands of other dodge ram owners complaining about this same issue and it is nick named dodge death wobble. Something needs to be done before someone dies, this is a very serious safety issue. |
