| Description of the problem | I have an 08 dodge 2500 4x4 diesel. When i go over 60mph and hit a bump it does that "death wobble" it does it every time i even hit an imperfection in the highway, i replaced the steering damper/stabilizer, and dodge replaced all 4 ball joints at only 34,000 miles. But it still does it, even worse at times. I haven't wrecked or anything i just have to slow down to about 40 mph to get it to stop. That is very dangerous when the speed limit is 75 mph. I drive all around the country for work, and this occurs every single time i drive it. The truck is only about 8 months old. I bought it brand new. |
