Component | SUSPENSION |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Front suspension, specifically steering system goes into a severe wobble or shimmy when a dip or pothole is driven over. The side to side wobble is so severe you have to come to a complete or near complete stop to get the truck to come out of it. I've had it to the dodge dealer twice and a local suspension/alignment shop and they cannot locate the problem. Looking online this is exactly what's been described multiple times as the dodge ram "death wobble". |
