Hello everyone.. Looking for knowledge or experience with a bad shake in a Ram Express 1500 4x4. We had the shake as stock but knew we were going to be putting a lift and bigger tires on it so we didnt pursue the shake too much before hand as I thought it was a balance issue or possible bad rim as stock. After the lift the shake still there and no difference in the magnitude of the shake. The balance on the new tires are all set at "0" now and all suspension/sterring parts have been "checked" by at least 3 local mechanics with no findings? The shake is not all the time and there's no set speed that it happens at. But when it does, the center console shakes pretty bad and never can be felt in the steering wheel.. Also when the shake starts to happen is usually while under acceleration and when you lift off gas shake almost goes away completely...Any ideas??? The truck has 30,000 miles on it...

Thanks in advance..

 

Was there a recall on the pinion nut on your truck?

 

Not sure.. We just bought the truck about 3 to 4 months ago from a little car dealer.. How can I find out..

 

Doesn't seem to have that recall..

 

Being it shakes the center counsel, and not the steering wheel,,, wondering if its inside the trans ,, maybe a bad torq convertor or something else in it

 

We havent checked anything transmission wise yet.. But it sure seems like its coming from transmission or back further.

 

Check the rear trans mount, and if you have one, the center support bearing on the driveshaft.
