TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 2500. IF THE VEHICLE WOULD HIT A SMALL BUMP BETWEEN 35-65 MPH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIMMY. SOME OCCASIONS THE WHEELS WOULD LIFT OFF OF THE GROUND. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS STEERING AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE U-JOINTS, NEW SHOCKS, STEERING STABILIZER, SWAY BAR END LINKS AND BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAVE REMEDIED THE FAILURE, THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
