Description of the problem	Death wobble, uneven surface or slight bump in road such as an expansion joint on entrance or exit to bridge. It is a scary thing, going near 60 mph. It will start the wobble and everything shakes violently until the vehicle stops. Luckily i have been on 4 lane roads when this has occurred. One time it threw me off of highway into ditch. There has to be fatalities related to this problem? My personal mechanic has looked at steering components and has stated that all steering parts are good or within specification. I have dodge dealer that is going to look at it tomorrow. They said look and they will say lets try this part. I replaced 2 bolts that hold track bar on with large shoulder to fill up large factory bolt hole. Factory bolt holes look undersized? Replaced track bar bushings. It run for 2000 miles without a death wobble. And then it has started again. Last 15,0000 miles it has felt very loose in the steering. It is a very dangerous safety issue !!!
