| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 dodge ram 2500. I have been experiencing death wobble for about 1 year now. I have spent approx. $1000 replacing balljoints (available), trackbar bushings, steering stabilizer, axle u-joints, complete 2008 dodge steering system to include tie-rod ends, pitman arm, and linkage (available), and shocks (available) with no successful results. At this point i am at a loss of where to go next. This is my only vehicle and my wife and daughter have to use it for transportation everyday. After experiencing this for so long i worry everyday. I have researched this online and found out that many other dodge owners are experiencing the same problems and receiving no help from the dealerships. Please review this and help us dodge owners repair this problem before someone is killed. |
