This is the first time I seen this thread and I thank God for it...my 06 V6 does all of this...When I hit a tiny dip on the highway I feel like i'm in rough water on a boat, or if I go over speed bumps or train tracks the front end feels like it lifts off the ground ( I actually had my rearview mirror pop off because of this!) I got my truck at a Mazda dealership and the people there are awesome to deal with. I purchased the extended warranty for the truck (up until 115K miles; its got 60k now) I am taking the truck back for warranty work because when I turn the wheel either way to the fullest it makes a noise like a bad serpentine belt would. I'll mention the struts as well so I dont feel like I'm on a boat anymore. Thanks for this thread guys, and sorry about Chrystler being so unprofessional about THEIR warranty....

I replaced all my front end stuff with Moog. Never had a problem after that. Even running a 2" leveling kit.

I just got the Monroe rear springs. I went to take off my old ones when I realize that the upper outer nut on the driver side, the one that's actually behind the freaking frame!!..is completely stripped...
