okay so I have a 1998 Dodge ram 1500 5.2L 2wd SLT I am gonna cut to the chase-
Problems:
Rear axle is bouncing
By this i mean it is bouncing up and down at about 43-47mph and if i go on the highway and leave it on cruise control at like 50 plus, it is fine but i come off the highway and start going at a slower speed my entire truck will shake but you can tell it is coming from my rear end, WHAT IS GOING ON??

Speakers stopped working
Randomly the other day my passenger side speaker, my passenger rear sub, and rear speaker went out (okay fine I can deal with that) but now all my speakers went out, is it because of age or electrical? HELP

a/c only blow out of upper and lower vents, event when i change the dial to being the straight on A/C

I love my dodge and i wanna keep it but i might get rid of it here soon since it is falling apart, please help me out! thanks in advance!

For the bouncing at 43-47, I've got the same exact thing. Still haven't figured it out.

For the speakers, I'd be pulling them and testing them manually and possibly looking at the headunit or the wiring going to the speakers.

For your vents, look up "Wild Vents Dodge Ram" on google, you will find a TON of forum links to the various Dodge forums that will get you pointed in the right way.

Rear end is possibly bad shocks, worn leaf spring bushings or loose/busted u bolt

For the bouncing, also check and see if maybe a wheel weight fell off and you have a wheel\tire out of balance
