| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway at 50mph going around a slight bend to the right when i experienced the dodge "death wobble." i had to slow down and pull over for it to go away. This is the 3rd time this has happened. All the forums i've checked suggest purchasing after market heavier duty steering components. This doesn't seem reasonable to me considering the cost of the vehicle in the first place. I also go thru ball joints every year and i've never had to change them on any other vehicle i've ever owned. |
