Front end issue

corupt1 · Apr 12, 2012

So last night I took my Ram into the dealership to get the oil changed and after a few minutes, the tech comes out and says there is an issue with the front end on my Ram. He takes me to the back and with the truck lifted, on the passenger side, he was able to move the front tire back and forth (not turning the tire). So I left my truck at the dealership overnight and they are suppose to start looking into it today. Luckly, I am still under the original bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Anyone else have any similar issues?

Got a call back later this morning that it was the tie rods and all has been covered under warranty. Not sure if I was part of the tie rod recall, since I didn't receive any notices on that one like I had the other recalls. Honestly didn't learn about the recall until I found this forum, which of course made me join.

As for the movement he showed me, it was a front to back movement. And as for miles, 15,800. Yeah my baby doesn't see a whole lot of miles when you only drive 9 miles round trip a day.
