Default Wobble Issues Ram 2500

Took truck to a Dodge dealership because there was some cards sent out about the recall. They looked at it and it got worse after they looked at it. It has happened at least once every time I drive the truck and it does the "death wobble" with any little bump in the road. I've had it happen to me on the highways at 75 MPH and had to slow down drastically. I fear for not just my health/life but my family members that also drive it. This is a truck that is used as a daily driver. Truck - Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7L Cummins, modified, 101k miles.

What year? What recall was done? Have you inspected the front end components for wear, excessive play?

How Modified? Suspension modified?

There are numerous causes for the dreaded 'Death Wobble'

One of the main ones, is a loose or worn trac-bar,

next on the list (in lifted rigs) is the angle of the trac-bar and angle of the drag-link.

They should be as close to the same angle as possible.
