| Death wobble. i have been having constant problems with the front end of my dodge ram 2500, most recently after replacing the steering knuckles, tie rids in the stabilizer bar, bushings in the stabilizer arms, all the ball joints, and track arm, and constantly balancing tires it has developed what all the blogs are calling the death wobble i'm getting sick and tired of replacing everything in the front end of this truck with no decent fixes available on the part of dodge. this shake and wobble is so violent that if there were ice or water on the road, i am sure someone could easily be killed at 70 mph. | |||
