| Description of the problem | The front end of my 2007. 5 dodge ram 3500 will shake violently when you hit a bump in the road. Its happened numerous times and seems to be worse at higher speeds. The only way to stop it is to slow down quickly . Not to safe when on a major highway. Gets a lot worse if i am pulling a trailer and feel that sooner or later a accident will happen. Its nicknamed the death wobble. And has been going on for years with numerous year dodge rams. Just do a internet search on the subject. Dodge knows about it but is not correcting the problem. |
