2008 Dodge RAM 2500 Suspension Problems

“Went to Dodge dealership for routine tire rotation and alignment and they informed me that I needed all 4 ball joints replaced at only 62,833 miles to the cost of $3,000 (no mention of a possible defect) doing research on the replacement of these ball joints I found the complaints and decided to file one as well. This definitely poses a danger to my family as well as others who may not be aware of the possible defect.”

“I was going 65 miles per hour on the freeway when my truck violently shake back and forth so hard I had to come to a complete stop to get it to stop. I've had the front suspension replaced 3 times in the past year and still have what they call a death wobble. I have spent so much money on rentals and on shop repairs trying to repair this problem and still cannot go over 40 miles an hour without it violently shaking. This is dangerous to my family it could kill somebody and I think Dodge should be responsible for taking action on repairing this or figure out the problem . …”

“My vehicle has repeatedly experienced severe shaking of the front end while traveling at speeds of 65 to 70 MPH after hitting a bump such as the transition of a bridge approach slab. I have had the recall check of the tie-rod, and have even tried a beefier tie rod with bracing. The only way to stop the violent shaking is to slow to less than 40 MPH. I know this has been a repeated experience of Dodge ram drivers based on forum discussions. I have had 2 sets of ball joints replaced as a result of the violent shaking. This last time this occurred, I was with my wife traveling to the coast. …”
