Default Vibration ughhh

ok here it isconstant vibrationgets a little worse when braking starts at about 60 and up gets worse no question. Ive had the thing in for align. 3 timesive had it in for the front drive line , they replaced same issue is also at this point silghtly getting worse. I search here , find tires and drivlines as culprites and just ran across front wheel bearing issue. Has anyone had this done what kind of hassel did you receive and did it correct the issue? also checked for this by vin didnt hit only the air bag and seat belt ish came up. Makes me wonder if the dealer is going to give me **** as usual??

Sounds like warped rotors. Mine had a vibration that came and went. Turned out one frt rotor was out and one rear was out. Sometimes they would team up and make it worse. After a brake job it needed anyway, no vibration at all. BTW, go for ceramic pads. WAY less brake dust.

sorry to hear about the vibration.

check out this older post:

https://dodgeforum.com/m_890200/tm.htm

especially the part where chadmech writes that:

The Tsb # is 02-001-07 REV A this has been there since mar 31 07. Chrysler is
aware of this is and is trying to adress the issue this tsb should get rid of
most of the vibration in the front end.....With regards to the tsb that the
dealer says doesn't apply (because it mainly deals with shudder during
braking). The bushings that are in the control arms are to soft causing the
suspension to bounce alot. I have personally done this tsb for your problem
along with road force balancing the tire and rims and the problem was almost
gone. I didn't own this truck but I drove it on the highway at 65 mph and I
couldn't stand the vibration. If this was my truck I would leave it there
until this issue was resolved. I hope this helps this is an issue that
Chrysler is aware and this is not going to go away.

You can directly read this particular TSB at Dave Fritz's website:

well im going to try to take it in again and have the berring recall checked out and now this bushing thing (first ive herd of it was today ,thanks gentelman and scholars) well se if they will do what it takes im pissed i bought this thihng brand new $40k+ truck they assured me my f-150 wasnt near the product this dodge is. I love the truck but it has seen the dealer more at 20k than my f-150 did in 5 years of ownership (was in for the cruis control and warrnety shocks thats it never any problems in over 80k )not sayin one over the other but this is bull**** i have not been the happiest with quality. so in end tires, rims,berrings and bushings.Holy hell did they build anything right on this year/model freakin mopar ish im going back to ford. hate to say love these trucks.
