| Description of the problem | Purchased a new 06 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 4x4. Truck came with 22inch tires and rims. Replaced tires at 60k miles. Almost had very severe accident at 60 miles an hour due to death wobble (violent shaking of truck). Drove truck back to tire dealer. Dealer said my front end was bad. Bought all new complete front end parts from dodge including upper/lower ball joints and shocks. Had parts installed cost $2900. Took truck out on freeway now i have the death wobble at 70mph. Took truck back to dodge, they say nothing is wrong. |
