| Description of the problem | I was driving a 2006 dodge powerwagon down the road between 60-70mph. After hitting a bump on highway or bridge overpass, major shaking and wobbling in the front end. Known as death wobble. Occurs everytime in the same spot and everytime at the same speeds. The first time it happened i was driving and hit an uneven part in the road and the death wobble occurred. Violent shaking and i hit the bridge wall. Called the dealer, they said the linkage had a recall. Took it in. Adjusted. Still same problem. Had all ball joint and tie rod ends replaced, all bushing, both shocks up front, steering stabilizer and alignment done. Still the same problem. |
