I've read and reread tons of postings on DW and shimmy on Dodge 2500 4x4, til I'm going nuts. There are like 20 answers to this problem and none have worked for me. My 2006 mega cab 1500, 5.7 hemi, 4x4 still shimmy's and vibrates at 63mph and above. Whether on a smooth road or hitting pot holes, doesn't matter. I've had both knuckles changed,track bar bushings, two rear u-joints, tires rotated and balanced three times, new steering stabalizer. whats next/ Carrier bearing looks good, drive shaft is in phase. Will rotating DS 180 degrees help, should i have front u-joint changed even though it looks and feels ok. The worst part is, i had bad vibration in Ds when accelerating hard, so I had the 2 u-joints changed. Ever since then I've had the shimmy and vibration. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

There is a recall for the tierpod ends on 07/08 Mega's and SOME 06 Mega's that have had replacements done. If your '06 is completely stock and never had OEM tierod replacements with the newerone's, then they aren't recalled. This doesn't mean they are not bad though because all front end parts on Dodge's are crap IMO. If you want more info, do a search and it will come up. HERE is the thread I am referring to

 

Theres a TSB out that recommends re-aligning toe, checking air pressure, and possibly repalcing both tie rods...
The first 4 steps deal with air pressure in the tires so im gonna skip that and start at step 5 for ya.
