Hey guys, first time post here. First I would like to say hi and any help exchanged is greatly appreciated.
So I'm driving an 06 ram 1500 4x4 with 86000 miles on it. The issue I have been having is a "wobble" in the front end, mostly at 60mph or more when I hit bumps in the road. Having drove a Cherokee with a death wobble issue I know it's not to that extreme but feels similar and settles on its own with no change in speed. I have had tires balanced, replaced tie rod ends and a bad upper ball joint, had an alignment done after this work was done. Inner tie rods are tight and wheel bearings are quiet and no play in them. I have looked into the rack and pinion, which seems to have some play (clunking sound when I bounce the steering shift back and fourth) but was told it was pretty normal by the alignment shop. They suggested new shocks and am looking at the 5100's but this is not an up and down bounce, it feels like the wheels are loose when it occurs. I have done a boatload of reading on here and the net in general to no avail so far. Again any help would be appreciated before I go throwing parts at it and blowing money lol.
