Steering wheel shake at max turn

[Warl]

Truck is the 2014 ram 1500 with ~7000 miles on it.

Hello, recently I've encountered a situation that I'm not sure is a problem or "just happens".

Recently I've noticed that when I turn all the way to the right at slow speeds the steering wheel will jerk back and forth. The only thing I think might've caused it is when I leveled the rear by lowering by 2". Do I really need to get it aligned after a level like that?

Changes wheel size or tire size?

Nope. Stock. I just checked by panhard bar in the back and it does not look so pretty. Would that be the problem?

Whats it look like back there? I dropped mine with 2" drop springs and didn't have an issue

It didn't look that bad when I first installed but I'm assuming it settled that way but the picture does make it look a lot worse than it actually is.

I would start up front, turn your steering wheel from lock to lock and when hitting the lock see if there is any potential binding or rubbing up front.

Yeah nothing sounds/looks wrong. Maybe it's telling me "no more turning!" I have no problems with my steering other than that.

Thats odd, did you use a kit or cut coils?

Cut

Best bet is to get it on a rack and do a shake down on it.

Mine was going that but it was bad ball joints ... Yours its much newer so you shouldn't have that problem

Mine did this twice yesterday. 2014 4x4 w/air ride at normal height. I tried to replicate it, but it didn't do it when I wanted it to. Like the OP said, full lock (left for me), steering wheel bumps back and forth. I have an appointment Monday for a list of fixes and my first oil change. I'll add it to the list.

Make sure to post your findings please. I might go in sooner than you if not.

Will do. i tried to get it to shake again this morning...but nothing. With the list I'm giving the dealership, they might have my truck a while.
