Mopar denies it exsists when you call but their recall mentions it as a severe problem on all Rams .
If Mopar openly admitted to a "severe steering" problem, it may open them up for liability lawsuits... :violent2:

Just checked that video above that is a ford. This is the steering bars you get from mopar for the recall but you have to pay for them. I wish mine would only have that little shake. I could deal with that.
Have you tried a dual steering stabilizer setup? Supposedly tweaking the caster can help but not 100% sure on that

Looks like they have a steering brace as well

I dont know if everyone saw my post above, my 2012 Ram was recalled for front suspension issues. A BUY BACK recall. All this time and they still had not got it figured out. 2013 was a redesign of the front axle I believe. Might have been 2014.
Sorry to hear your woes TIM, id be fustrated too especially when you spend 40-60k on a truck and does that. You got full coverage on it? I believe the wobble would be bad enough to mysteriously cause me to run off the road into a pond. Oops, damn you dodge for not fixing it
ops:
Just recieved my recall after complaints since 2005. You will not believe the Fix and the cost.
Ford steering in a mopar box for $400 dollars. Once you buy that they give you three nuts
They did offer to buy mine back, court ordered! I made out ok, not great. I REALLY liked that truck.Problem is dodge doesnt care, if they did they should buy them back or give you a more than fair trade in amount towards a new one, then they could use the ones they buy back as personal vehicles for all the engineers that designed the years affected lol
I think they try that "only if its a safety concern" which death wobble certainly is. My mom has a 11' mustang and just last year got a recall notice for the airbag, letter said ford will notify you when the replacement air bag is available. Wtf? Lemme drive my presumably safe new vehicle and not have to worry about the accident killing you but the airbag. I know recalls are hard to 100% stop but i think these automakers need to crack down on it. Seems like the customer is eating it more than the dealers
It was always my understanding when something was a "recall" that the fix was all on the automaker. I guess I was incorrect.
Funny you mention the Ford airbag issue. There was just a guy killed on the Ranger forum I am a member of by his airbag.
We always fixed that wobble with new steering stabilizers.
