Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 REGULAR CAB PICKUP W/ 20" WHEELS & OEM GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP TIERS 5.7 HEMI. VEHICLE IS 100% STOCK AND UNMODIFIED AND MAINTAINED METICULOUSLY. AT RANDOM INTERVALS ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 60 & 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY DEVELOP A MASSIVE SHAKING SENSATION. VIOLENT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT MAY LOOSE CONTROL OR HAVE A FLAT TIRE. THEN IF YOU SLOW DOWN THE TRUCK RIDE SMOOTHES AS GLASS AND WILL BE FINE TILL IT STARTS TO BUILD AGAIN, OR A BUMP SETS IT OFF. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN THROWOUT THE INTERNET AND COMMONLY CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS CONDITION SEEMS TO AFFECT PRIMARILY RAM 1500-2500 FROM 2003-2008. *TR
