Took my ram in for warranty work.It only has 13,000 miles on it and the front shocks and tie rod ends were bad.Anyone else have this?

 

I blew a stock shock after a weekend of playing a little bit off road with about 7k on them. That's about it, replaced under warranty with no problem.
As for the tie-rods I replaced mine at 19k miles as part of my suspension lift with bigger, beefier ones. There was a bit more play in the stockers that I would have liked already at that time...

 

Yah I replaced one of my struts at 17000KMs after it was leaking.. I take my truck up some gnarly trails camping though and I had just got back from a weekend trip a few weeks prior so thats what I figured made it start leaking

 

I had both tie rods replaced under warranty with less than 20,000

 

My ram has 26,000 miles on it and since day one, the only thing the dealer had to replace before i borught it at 23,000 miles were the all the brakes and roaters. Thats all. Nothing esle

 

Mine checked good when my front hub bearing failed @ 19K.

 

ill be checking mine again this upcoming weekend when i do my rotors and pads and i hope they check out ok i pulled on em lastweek when i rotated my tires and they seemed ok but idunno if i did it right ...so can anybody give all of us a proper instruction on how to properly check them...it would be appreciated....i just grabbed and pulled?

 

thats the IFS for ya . glad i dont have that anymore

 

Check what wheel bearing/ball joints? Jack the tire off the ground.. grab top and bottom and pull alternating.. it shouldnt go in and out at either top nor bottom.. or put a big bar under the tire and pull up using the ground as an anchor for the bar if you have big *** heavy tires, if theres any play then get someone to look and see if its the wheel bearing, or top or bottom ball joint..

Tie rod ends leave the tires on the ground and while someone sits in the truck turning the wheel side to side about an eighth of a turn just past resisance.. while they do that you lay under and see if the tie rod ends have any play.. sometimes its easier to hold onto them and feal for play if its minimal..

Repeat on the back tires
