Hi there,
My new to me Ram 1500 4x4 has developed an issue. Long story short, i bought the truck with bad ball joints, the bad balljoints trashed one of the tires (out of round) and caused a vibration/hop on the front end. (Got a whole new moog front end put in) To make sure it was a bad tire that caused the vibration, it was moved to the drivers side rear of the truck, and then went for a drive, and saw that the vibration moved to the rear of the truck. Drove like that (poor idea) for maybe 2 weeks, and just a few day ago, i got brand new tires put on, and the vibration was still there.... from the rear driver side. I did a tire rotation and re-balancing, and its still there!! So what could cause the hop/vibration that mimics and out of round wheel on one side on the back of a pickup.... it doesn't look like any of the leaf springs are broken... Im stumped
Any suggestions?
