Description of the problem	I have a 2005 dodge ram 4x4 (3rd generation ram). When i hit an irregular road condition such as the transition from a bridge to the road, or a bump or pot hole, at speeds over 45 mph the front end on the truck shakes violently. It causes the entire truck to shake violently and takes a bit of muscle to hold onto the steering wheel to keep it from getting out of control. Dodge has replaced (so far) the wheel bearings three separate times, they also replaced the entire steering linkage (tie rods, control arm ect..), ball joints at my expense to the tune of $1,200. They also recommended i put on a dual steering stabilizer which i did (cost $140). All of this and the truck still had the ? Death wobble?. I then put on dual shock absorbers and filled the tires to 60 psi (10 psi over recommended) and the ? Death wobble went away. It has been about 8,000 miles since i was able to make it go away and now it is coming back intermittently. I have had this problem intermittently since the truck has had about 38,000 miles. I have several friends with the same problem with their 3rd generation ram 2500 and 3500 series 4x4? S. Dodge recognizes that there is a problem but does not know what the cause is. They have issued tsb # k15782911. I have had my truck in on this tsb and i believe the work was done but the "death wobble" remained until i put on dual shocks and excessive tire pressure. This condition causes the entire truck to shake violently. My wife has driven off the road when it happened to her. The only way to make it stop is to slow down to a crawl quickly. It is a recurring problem that is happening to a lot of owners. I think the front axles on these vehicles should be recalled.
