My 98 ram 2wd has a shake in it after hitting a bump. It shakes the whole truck until I slow to about 40 mph. Not every bump though.Can you guys tell me why this might be. And what I need to do to fix it?

I would check the shocks might be going bad or might have bad ball joints or other frontend parts getting worn causing play in the front end thats making the frontend shake.

 

The dreaded death wobble, You're not the first. Do a forum search for Death wobble. It was a few months ago that it was brought up. Oh Heck here is the link Death Wobble Hope this helps!

 

gee..not sure... since your truck isnt a 4X4... you WOULDNT HAVE A TRACK BAR LOL anyway... since its a 2X4 not sure why it would have symptoms of a worn track bar..but again since its not a 4X4 there ISNT ONE


thats an awesome .GIF... little slow.. if you used a GIF creator program and made it like 1/4 of the size it would run pretty quick

 

wate a sec am i may be having a retarted moment but i thought the 2wd's dident have a track bar

 

DOH!

Thanks for the link and the info. I will have the idler arm checked and replased and see if it is fixed.Will post and update.Bought it used so not sure if wrecked. Dont think so. But the death wobble is a MF.lol

Thanks guys!

 

Just wondering how it turned out for ya? I got the same symptoms....noticed a broken swaybar link so I'll be replacing that first.
