I saw vids about new tires make it go away until its time for another set. Making adjustable bushings on link bars.... Been going on for a long long time. Figure it would be more than a steering issue or the dodge may be worse than the Older fords were.

It made the news this morning, the were fined the largest fine ever for an auto maker, $105 million, for not recalling then fast enough. They should have been recalled almost two years ago. I have looked at the big three for trucks, diesel, over the past 20 or so years and in the end I never got a Ram/Dodge because of issues like rear ends, front ends and transmissions. Many men that I know have Rams and they love the Cummins motors and they have a good reputation, it just that they have had other issues. Good Luck

A scary issue to have. Why have the recalls taken so long I wonder??? If towing your 5er very scary thing. You know the buy back they will not be giving top dollar for the old trucks effected. Hiding these defects is a corporate thing.

Read the article this AM, a big part of the article was the fact the Chrysler was slow to recall the Jeeps that had plastic gas tanks that caused fires when hit........ but the Rams looked to be mostly 4x4s .........

Ya I left Ford trucks because I couldn't keep transmissions in them 4 in a 112K was toooooo many...... Gas tanks hmmmmm remember the Pintos.....had one of those too.......... Still like my Mustangs though........

There are many issues on the Trucks. Many recalls were issued, but parts were defective or not available at all. I had a 2012 ram 3500 that was in these, but I never had a problem.... Seems most problems were in the one that were Lifted and big tires. Those should be a problem for the lift kit manufacturer, not the truck manufacturer, but wait, these aftermarket parts makers have no responsibility for the junk that they make!
