welcome to dodgeforum...

being a new owner of a 96 myself, Ill tell you what I have noticed since owning that i wish i checked better. #1 The shocks, #2 the balljoints, #3 the ABS system (being fully functional and all)

Mostly I hear the trans is a weakpoint (overdrive namely), and check your sensors, make sure theres no manifold leaks, if there are have them fix it and check again.
