Default Death Wobble

Ya, new trac bar and steering stabilizer. I found an aftermarket one from Thorsen, but the service manager said Dodge had a new kit to fix DW. I went with it since it didn't cost me anything. I plan on having the trac bar checked every 20k though just to be sure. So far it has worked, but only had it back for a few hours.

They say track bars are damn near like your oil lol changed every 3k miles.

Although iv heard people that need to change them yearly depending on how bad the roads are and if you're doing any kind of off roading.

Mine seems like it has a little bit of life left in it considering i just oiled the **** out of it cause the pervious owner didnt take care of anything on this truck. Rides a ****load smoother but i need to replace my sway bar ends and also my stablizer shock cause it's leaking. or completely blown from what i can tell.

I hear the the Thorsen trac bar lasts much longer than the factory parts. If you add that with their steering control, they claim DW will be gone. Also need to check the wheel alignment from what I've read. I'm new to the whole DW issue. I've driven pickups all my life and have never heard of this. Wondering if I should have stuck with the GMC???

lol yea but what you saved in track bars and tranny problems you'll waste on poor quality paint and ****ty axles.

Dodge is where it's at as long as you got the pockets to keep up with it.

LMAO!!! I love your sense of humor! Have not laughed since our DW experience, thanks! My wife and I had pencil sharpener pucker factor, thanks for lightening the mood. I've never owned a Dodge before and still find myself staring at it from the driveway, even after the DW! I didn't do that with my bow ties or great mountain climbers (GMC's) I'll never go back.
