Hey all, '18 Ram Sport 1500, 4x4 stock everything. Just purchased a month ago, and I thought at first maybe it was just me, but I've noticed that I can feel slight feedback in either pedal during slow speed sharp turning at what I would guess is two separate spots in a turn, if that makes sense. Anyone else experience similar feedback? Ideas?

Yes, I get the same thing, it started at about 5k miles. 8k miles on truck now. A small vibration in the pedal, feels like a cv boot or something. Usually only when I turn after a full stop. Going to take in truck for a noisey ac blower fan, going to have them look at that steering thing too. I will post back with any results/feedback from the dealer.

Hi BigMike518,
We're glad that you are having your dealer look into these concerns. Feel free to send us a private message if you need any assistance when your truck is at the dealer.

Keep us posted at what comes of it, I feel something similar occasionally but have always attributed it to road surface.

I also kind of wonder if it happens or is partially the cause of the 2K RPM vibration under acceleration.

It could be the fact that everything (engine, diff, axles) mounts to one bracket that is attached to the frame. Now add up all of the natural vibrations of that stuff and this is what you get.

Maybe just bad axles, but mine has done it since about 1K miles. And so have all of the other trucks I tested once I noticed it on mine. So unless they got a really big batch of bad axles, thats probably not it.

I did not test for the road surface issue, though. I notice that I feel it in the same spots usually, so I still attribute it to road surface.

Mine does it on any surface and I only feel it going slow, like you I feel like its a bad CV joint and just waiting for it to break..lol

Been under the truck twice and could not find anything loose or odd or out of place.
