Hello!
I have a 1996 ram 2500 4x4. I have replaced all tie rods, steering damper, both wheel hubs, both front u joints, pads and rotors and gotten a alignment done after all the new parts. But i still have a wobble at high speeds and also when i take turns the truck rolls in the turn.
Currently the truck has two different tires on the front so maybe that might have something to do with the wobble. I just put new tires on the rear so I'll swap the front to the rear and see if it helps. I think the sway bar links are factory. What should i look for on the links?
What kind of shape is the steering gearbox, track bar and the control arm bushings in? Also, as has been mentioned, tire balance plays a big part, too. Lastly, how many miles do you have on your truck and where, in general, are you located?
The track bar has been replaced within the last three years. The gear box looks to me to be ok. The truck has 75k miles on it. Im located in ankeny iowa.
Stabilizer bar link on passenger side looks the same on the other side.
The wobble starts 55 mph and its worse when i let of the gas.
The rear drum brakes need to be replaced because they grab just before the truck comes to a stop. Would the rear brakes have anything to do with the steering?
