Description of the problem	Very lucky to be alive. Driving my 06 ram 3500 on a surface street next to a ups truck approx 25 mile per hour. Just gone through a traffic light and reached a bus stop area where people were waiting for a bus on curb. My truck right side tie rod snapped, and my truck starts to shake violently pulling me to the curb where the people were standing. I could not steer to the left very much because of the truck next to me. I had to brake very hard to keep me from going up onto curb and killing people. Luckily my truck just skinned the curb and bounced back on the road just missing the people and the back end of the ups truck next to me. I have had many problems with my truck shaking after hitting small pot holes or uneven roads at most speeds. I have had 4 alignments since i bought this truck. Gone through 2 sets of front tires before buying rear tires. Well i installed new steering linkage and bought a double steering dampening shocks to help with the shaking. Had truck realigned after accident. Well 3 months later truck started shaking again and my tires are wearing uneven again. Had alignment checked again and was out of alignment. I don't use truck for off road driving, just everyday driving to work and towing small items. Got a email the other day from chrysler saying my truck steering linkage was on recall. My repair shop thinks its more then the steering linkage, maybe the pit-man arm too. The repair shop told me that there is a lot of play in it also. He believes its a defect along with the steering linkage. Will bring truck in for inspection at dealer.
