| Description of the problem | Out of control bouncing of the front axle on a 2006 dodge ram 1500. We have replaced the tires and increased the tire pressure. I have been told by mechanics that the ball joints on these trucks are faulty and will need to be replaced. I have talked to multiple mechanics and dodge owners the problem is wide spread and known by the dealerships but chrysler/dodge has not done anything about it. |
