I have a 98 ram 1500 4x4 that I just bought and when I put it into 4x4 it dont seem to drive right.when I turn the drivers front tire seems to look like its wobbling or like there are some lugs missing and about to come off.i cant see the passenger side it its doing the same so not sure and also when I have it in 2wd I can feel a rub sometimes through the floor board and sometimes I can feel something hittig the floor board when driving strait.i just put new track bar and upper ball joints with a alingment.can anyone help me with this? Thanks

did you get an alignment at a shop? did you do the work on the truck? are your wheel bearings or wheel ujoints shot? bent rim? take the front diff cover off, maybe a bad carrier bearing is tossing around your axle under load

You're not trying it on dry pavement are you? If you are its supposed to feel like its "hopping", something like what you are describing. If not, +1 to the above post.
