NHTSA Complaint #10454944 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

FRONT AXLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY. SHAKES CONSISTENTLY GOING OVER BRIDGES. SHOOK SO HARD ONE TIME IT BROKE THE ADJUSTING SLEEVE ON THE DRAG LINK LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING AND VEHICLE CROSSED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND INTO THE GRASS COMING TO A STOP JUST BEFORE HITTING THE GUARDRAIL. SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH THE STEERING STABILIZER. THE FRONT AXLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED AND EVERYTHING IS TO OEM SPECIFICATIONS AND THIS VEHICLE WILL STILL SHAKE GOING OVER BRIDGES IF YOUR RUNNING 70MPH. FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT APPEARS THERE IS A PROBLEM ON THESE DODGE TRUCKS IF THEY ARE 4X4 WITH A STRAIGHT FRONT AXLE AND SHORT WHEEL BASE. I HAVE SEEN KITS ON THE INTERNET THAT CLAIM TO FIX THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THE GEOMETRY OF THE "FIX" IS DIFFERENT THAN OEM. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE IN MY VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE INSPECT IT. *TR
