Dodge Death Wobble

[Summitric]

not only dodges have it

fords are usually quite a bit easier to diagnose and repair........ Usually a worn front-end steering or suspension component, but the most common on the fords is the steering dampner wears out.

Ive got a 2007.5 with the 6.7 in it 2500.
Bought the truck drove 30 miles expierienced the death wobble for the first time in my life. Been oilpatch for 7 years now and been/ drove alot of miles in dodges never had it happen.

Truck had new upper and lower ball joints, and front shocks, allighnment done before I picked it up.
Tried adjusting the front diff made NO difference.

Upgraded to "NEW" model steering and stabilizer setup.
And installed BD Diesel powersteering brace.
Did allignment again full 4 wheels.

HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEM SINCE. put on 8000km over all the same roads it did it on before. Also put new tires on in mean time.

I will be upgrading my stabilizer to a Billstein nitrogen piece. For anybody reading this with the problem Listen to Summitric his first post recomended all this.

By the way it scares the sh!t out of me knowing that there are 1000's of trucks out there not corrected yet

The f350 was a krazy death wobble, changed out every front end part but the steering box and not doing it as bad but can still feel it a bit. Was even worried to ride to the mountains with it. Always had dodge and never felt that in my life. Dealer told me I had a low tire, they are krazy themselves. Good luck
