PM sent. I just checked, my steering is tight. Not sure what the death wobble at the upper speeds or over pot holes is about but, when I get time, I will look deeper. Thanks.

 

I sent you a PM, but it is probably your track bar.

 

Death wobble can occur from track bar, ball joints, just about anything on the front. I've seen guys replace everything on the front of their Ram/Jeep and still had the dw. Hopefully it is something fairly easy for you.

I have a 2000 cummins manual tranny and can just barely touch the spring when trying to check it for play. The ones u guys did on the trucks must have been gassers or older models? Has anyone done this without removing steering column on a cummins before. If so how did u reach in there to work. I ordered the kit and will be working on this soon. Thanks

 

Hey all, I have this same clunking that is described in this thread. I had no idea where it was coming from. I just replaced all my tie rods and upper and lower ball joints last week. I am still getting the clunking noise. But after doing some research and finding this thread I checked the spring on the steering column and it has no play what so ever. My steering is sloppy and I have quite a bit of play before the wheels turn. I would say about a 1/4 turn. I had my gf turn the wheel and it seems the loose steering is coming from the steering box. Can this be adjusted and where else could this clunking be coming from. It usually happens at slow speed while turning and on bumpy roads.

 

There is a procedure in the service manual for adjusting the steering box, it details a two step adjustment, with the box off the truck...... alternatively, there is an adjuster, and jam nut, right on top of the box, you can try loosening up the jam nut, tightening down the adjuster screw, re-tighten jam nut, and see if its any better. Just go in small steps on the adjuster (1/4 turn).

 

THANK YOU, guys from rock solid, you were amasing in handling an issue of shipping what actual was my sides fault.
I installed the part in my old work truck , 1997 dodge ram 1500 ,5.9l,automatic, 247000 mls and still running great, but i had enough of my steering problems! I almost bought a new steering coloum.

Just wondering if anyone here took the time to measure one of these ram steering fix bushings? Are the bushings made of polyurethane?

 

I might be interested. Where are you located and how much? pm me if it's still available
