Consumer Description

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 4 X 4 MEGA CAB DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE HAD THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK SHAKE AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH AND TURNING LEFT ON ANY SURFACE THAT HAS BUMPS. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES, THE DASH BEGINS TO SHAKE AND THE TRUCK FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL APART. AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO LESS THAN 15MPH YOU MAY BE LUCKY TO GET CONTROL. AFTER THE SIXTH TIME IT HAPPEDED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH, MAKING A LEFT TURN OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL AND DASH STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. MY TRUCK SLAMMED OF THE SIDE RAIL BEFORE I COULD GET CONTROL. AFTER CALLING DODGE THEY TOLD ME I'M STUCK BUYING A 2009 TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, PITMAN ARM, STEERING STABLIZER BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER MADE IT FOR DODGE RAM 2500 4 X 4 TRUCKS 2003 ' 2008 DUE TO SAFTY REASON. (BTW THE NEW TIE ROD ASSEMBLY IS NON-GREASABLE / NON SERVICABLE, SO WHEN A TIE ROD GOES OUT, YOU GET TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AGAIN.) I HAD TO OBVISOULY GET AN ALINGMENT DONE AFTER EVERYTHING. ALL AND ALL I HAVE ABOUT 1000.00 BUCKS THAT IM OUT AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE REPAIRS TO THE REAR QUARTER PANEL, THANKS DODGE!!! :( BOOOOOOOO *TR
