Yeah, when I get a chance I'll try and get a link to you for something I just saw. Its in the magazine that 4 wheel parts puts out; latest issue. Its a brace thats supposed to eliminate the flex at the steering box thereby eliminating the death wobble.

As they show it in the mag its a BD Steering Box Stabilizer. Its got a part # BDD1032004. You may be able to find it on their website with that #. Says its for 04 to current and doesn't specify if its for all trucks or just 1500's. Costs 213.99, if it works its a pretty cheap fix.

The BD Power kit is only for solid axle equipped Rams. 2002 and newer 1500's are IFS and this kit will not work.

Don't know why Dodge has such a problem with this. The slightest bump in the road can send the truck all over the place.

Wow - my 2007 Dodge Ram was my first new truck. I assumed this was a "truck" thing. I don't like it at all.......I wonder if the 09's do that too? Have we figured out that there is really a fix?
