Default stock truck vibrations



hello all, I have a 2002 1500 slt, 4x4, stock suspention, no mods or nothing,,, bone stock..</P>

lately, when first driving the truck gives a viration like a tire has come lose for a sec, or the tire rubbed the fender for a sec, I cant pin point where the vibration is coming from, and seems to do it more when its really cold..</P>

I also notice it when the motor is pulling hard at about 55 to 60 with the cruise going up hill..</P>

It could be ball joints. Also, check the universal joints in both drivelines. You said that at hard throttle aplication it seems to get worse. That could be explained with bad u-joints. Either case check it or get it checked........very, very, soon.

I needed new ball joints on my '03 quqd cb ram 1500 at 14,000 miles,the problem I had was squeaking in the front end when I turned the steering wheel or when I went over a speed bump like 5 miles an hour,sound familiar?Just wanted to let you know the symptoms of bad ball joints,hope this info was helpful to you!
