Description of the problem	I was traveling highway i-95 near jax , fl. While crossing an overpass expansion joint between bridge and pavement the front end of my truck began violently shaking - so bad i could barely keep control. I slowed as fast as possible and headed for the median out of the way from traffic following. Truck completed an entire "donut " in median causing all traffic to stop. I immediately thought a blown tire. I had previously replaced tires, shocks and fresh alignment less than 500 miles prior to incident. I called dodge care and they said there was a recall on steering linkage. I took truck to gator dodge in melbourne florida for the recall. Service manager mike said the truck didn't apply to recall. He blamed the violent "death wobble" on my brand new tires and non mopar shocks. Shocks are aftermarket direct fit for my truck from monroe. He also said that i needed an alignment and tires rebalanced. I did what he asked and brought truck back to gator dodge for a new diagnosis. He then blamed the violent shaking on " glazed rotors". Oddly the problem does not happen when braking. He then talked with his service manager and replaced the pittman arm, stabilizer shock and some kind of control arm with new adjustment clamps for free. Did nothing to correct the problem. The truck still makes "clunking noises " from somewhere behind firewall when just crossing over the white stop lines on the road or even my garden hose in the driveway. Death wobble can be duplicated at high speeds but he refused to drive to highway to show him the problem. I am going to install a new steering gearbox and aftermarket stabilizer tomorrow and see what happens. I have a feeling it will be wasted money. I believe the truck needs recalled before i kill someone on the road. I cant afford a new truck and will not let my kids ride in this one.
