| Description of the problem | 2004 dodge 2500 4x4 4 door automatic. The problem is when i am driving around 60 or 65 and hit a bump in the road the front end shakes out of control until i slow down to less than 35 or 40 then it stops. I have replaced tires, ball joints, and stabilizers bars, put some sort of heavy duty stabilizer shock on the front end the dealer could not find any thing wrong every time they test drove it. I finally asked if someone from the dealer could ride with me to see what the truck dose at 60 mph. A mechanic rode with me driving at about 62 mph we drove across the seam at the beginning of a bridge and the front end let loose. The reaction from the dodge mechanic was just short of panic. He then drove it and it did the same thing. Back at the dealership he told the service manager |
