Consumer Description

FRONT SUSPENSION, SPECIFICALLY STEERING SYSTEM GOES INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE OR SHIMMY WHEN A DIP OR POTHOLE IS DRIVEN OVER. THE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE IS SO SEVERE YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE OR NEAR COMPLETE STOP TO GET THE TRUCK TO COME OUT OF IT. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DODGE DEALER TWICE AND A LOCAL SUSPENSION/ALIGNMENT SHOP AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED MULTIPLE TIMES AS THE DODGE RAM "DEATH WOBBLE".
