 Description of the problemDuring highway driving 60mph my truck developed "death wobble" the steering wheel was shaking violently side to side, i was unable to gain control until the truck was below 15mph. This happened several occasions thereafter anywhere from 40-65mph. I took the truck to the dealership, which determined everything was fine as far as recall concerns go, i explained that there was something wrong weather it was recall or not, and i wish to have it fixed. They expressed the truck was fine and refused to look further into it. There was a recall on the front end steering linkage which they also stated was not a problem. The "death wobble" returned on several occasions until from 12-4-17 to about 2-10-2017 when it caused me to leave the road pulling a trailer nearly crashing into a bridge support. After giving up on the dealer i investigated myself and found that the front end traction bar link was bad, this allowed the axle to move side to side. With the steering mounted to the frame, and the axle moving this caused the steering drag link to violently push/pull on the steering causing the potential deadly condition essentially the steering was steering left and right without my control. After replacing the traction bar and front end linkage the truck performed as it should with no further issues, this is a problem that is extremely common among ram owners of 2002-20010 trucks. Check out "dodge ram death wobble" on youtube it is a problem that dodge ignores, and when reported isn't aware on how to fix. It occurred on all road types and usually started at a bump or pot hole. Here's a link of many with the exact same problem. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=hnxs7x55d9c&feature=youtu. Be
