| Description of the problem | I was driving at 60mph and hit a bump and that's when the front end started to shake so bad i had to stop and get out to see if i had a flat but now after doing my own research on a lot of forum a lot of the dodge rams have what thayer call the death wobble and it does scare u to death when it happens! Dodge has always had weak front end so on there big trucks! To much engine too light of a front end! Very few dodge 2500 and 3500 owners get 100,000 miles of them before parts have to be replaced (ball joints and sway bars) i love my dodges but hate the weak front ends! I do have video of the shake. Thanks |
