Have a 96 ram 5.9 2 wheel drive and I cant figure out what could possibly be the problem. I can hit a small crack in the road and the truck shakes something fierce. The steering is definitely better after everything but I just don't like how unstable it feels. I've put alot of time and money into the suspension and I've run out of ideas. I've replaced both upper and lower control arms with new ball joints, tie rod ends upper lower, sway bar end links and sway bar bushings, new steering box, steering box stabilizer, idler arm, pitman arm and shocks. I'd really appreciate some help.

 

Wheel bearings? Alignment? Yer right, not a lot left.

Moving this to second gen ram section for ya.

 

Forgot to mention but yes both have been done as well. Last time I brushed off a similar issue in my old jeep I ended up crashing into a median and all tie rod ends shot to hell.

Thank you!

 

Do the two wheel drives have a steering stabilizer?

 

What brand/s where all the parts? Heard of people having issues when they replaced their steering box with something other than a redhead. Did you try to lift one front wheel off the ground and see if there is any slop?

 

 

Also, what about the bushings attaching the A arms to the frame? Could be a poor alignment. Possibly junk new parts.
