03 2500

[Camper David]

Hi I am 68 and own two Rams. The 03 2500 4WD has a annoying sideways head knocking motion when hitting any change in road camber, pot hole etc. please help me search the forums for possible solutions. Truck has new tires good shocks and high road mileage. Carries 1200# camper all the time. Thanks.

Sounds like a sway bar issue. Could also be a cracked spring. Try those 2 terms to search. Good luck.

Thanks....it is a high road mileage truck some no steering components are new....trying to narow it down. rather than blindly spending money.

Might check the pitman arm too. I have an 2004.5 4x4 diesel and early on added a BD diesel steering box stabilizer due to that being a weak point. Eliminates steering wander and wobble caused by excessive shaft play in the steering box. Mine has been problem free. You have to remove the pitman arm and it bolts between the frame rails and onto the steering shaft. Not difficult to do if it's your issue but you might need a puller for the arm.
