2019 ram classic 1500 Driver side of bed vibrates at high speeds.

I can visibly see the bed vibrating up and down very fast in the reader view mirror. Only happens on the driver side. Just changed my rear shocks yesterday and still same issue. Not sure what’s going on.

Is the vibration constant or around certain speeds?

 

[Canadianguy]

Just saw your subject. Vibrating at high speeds..my bad. Have you ever road force balanced your tires?

 

[Scubasteve214]

No I haven’t yet. I’ll give that a try when I get a chance. Side note- the vibration is consistent at high speeds when accelerating or cruising.

Are you looking at the bed through your TOW Mirrors ?

The rear view mirror is above the radio & it would be hard for only one side to show vibrations

 

[Scubasteve214]

I can see it in the side and rear view mirrors. I’ve made sure to turn the radio off when looking at it to make sure it wasn’t just the mirror shaking from the music.

As far as I can tell the passenger side does not appear to do it but the driver side vibrates like hell. I’m not sure if vibrate is the proper term but it’s going up and down a small amount very fast

I bought a new Ram 1500 Classic with the 5.7 engine. I got a great deal on it and had it shipped to the east coast from Arizona. Soon as it was driven off the car carrier truck I take it for a test ride. Once i got above 55 MPH something did not feel right. I bring it to my friends front end shop to have the tires checked out for out of balance and the road force test done. My left front tire failed the road force test big time. I get a new tire have it road force tested and balanced. I take it for a ride its better but something is still not right for a brand new truck with 15 miles on it. Now I decide to change out the shocks with Bilstiens. I did the removal and replacement myself. I find the left rear shock defective. there was no gas in it. I was able to pull the piston in and out by hand. After I installed the 4 shocks I take it for another test ride. I took it up to the dollar mark and it was smooth and straight. Driving as a new truck should. I call Chrysler to get a refund on the tire and the shock and they told me sorry they are normal wear and tear items. So I had to eat the price for the new tire and I was going to change the shocks anyway.

I had same issue, at 75 whole truck vibration. Had my wheels "Road Force Balanced" and some of them were WAAAAY Off from a recent new Michelin Tire purchase, and mount and balance from just a spin balancer. Find the dealer with the NEWEST Equipment! Now... smooth as silk!!!!
