| Description of the problem | At higher speeds the front end starts to shake violently (death wobble) to the point of loosing control, you have to come to a complete stop to get it to stop which can be a problem when driving on the freeway i've took it to the dealer and they said it was the ball joints so i had them replaced it didn't help i also replaced the shocks and steering dampener all this at my own expense. I've had the truck in twice for recalls on the tie rod ends also. From the research i have done online it seems that alot of owners are having the same trouble with no help from dodge to correct the problem. |
