Can anyone recommend control arms?
2006 Dodge Ram 1500 slt hemi
Truck is great, very happy with it. Experiencing the death wobble or vibration on steering wheel at 55+mph. Both upper and lower control arms bushings have some play. This is basically a daily driver but on occasion might make some trips with hauling so I’ll be happy to use moog if they’re good enough, or have some prefer tubular designs with poly bushings? A lot of aftermarket control mentions “ fit with 0-6” lift”. Mine looks factory but does right height look stock?
never had a four wheele so this is all new to me. Thank you

There are a lot of other things I would check before replacing controls arms, for a vibration while driving. Death wobble is a VIOLENT shaking of the tire/wheel. To the point of the truck becoming uncontrollable. If you are just getting a vibration, try rotating the tires first, and see if anything changes. While you are doing that, check the tires for separated tread, or shifted belts, or uneven wear. Getting them rebalanced wouldn't be a bad plan either. (and they can rotate them at the same time.)

That’s the plan after I aligned it. As mentioned there’s play in the bushings. Tie rods seem good. U joints are possible suspects. I’ve read many posts where people had tires re balanced many times with same problem. Don’t have a track bar.
