I went to Quick_Shifters shop, I had a shimmy after laying off the gas or hitting any dips in the road.
He checked all the torques for the rear control arms & rebalanced all the wheels in his meticulous way of diagnosing problems.
It ended up being a broken bushing in the pass. side lca-Core, replaced with a set of Freedom off-road.
He will replace bushings on my Core arms & switch back next time I go to his shop.

Put new rear shocks on the other day (replaced my rs9000xl shocks with new rs9000xl shocks), today replaced my front sway bar and sway bar end links. One end link snapped as soon as I tried removing it and the other had ripped boot. Also tweaked some of my Diablo tune settings.

Recommend getting one with a fly. Haven't used it in Dewy or rainy conditions yet, but think I probably shouldda got one with a rain fly.

changed the coil packs on my 2017 ram 1500. figured with 97k on the miles, it was time to install new ones and new spark plugs as well.
Fixed exhaust manifold leak. Only one bolt broke - passenger side upper rear bolt flush to the cylinder head surface. Learned enough about welding to remove it using a flux core welder. Both manifolds were warped ~0.050. Sanded as flat as possible by hand and reinstalled the original manifolds with Remflex 6022 gaskets and Dorman 03309 bolts. No further evidence of leaking.

4th oil change with valvoline restore and protect. Greased upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and front/rear sway bar links with Lucas red and tacky. Emptied the catch can. Good for another 4500 miles now.

Bringing into the shop, cv axle slipped up and my 4wd is currently a 2wd. Getting a level put on and upgraded upper control arms though so we’re coming back strong

Had a buzz coming from my rear door speaker(s), so, I swapped them out with some MTX Terminator69's. When I took the panel out found the rear driver door speaker wasn't screwed down all the way. There was the source of the buzz. The MTX speakers sound much better. Only issue I had is the holes don't exactly match up, so, had to torque the screws down to get them flush. Doubt they will buzz on me now.
Think I'll go with Kickers for the fronts and maybe rears as well, someday.

Not exactly this week's project, but my summer project this year was taking the lift off my Ram.
35s, Bilsteins set at 2.8", Zone UCA, Icon rear springs, rear Fox shocks, and extended sway bar links f/r all came off.
285/75r17 Falken Wildpeak at4ws, Eibach Pro Struts set at 0.7", Moog UCA, stock rear springs, Bilstein 5100 rear, and Moog f/r sway bar links went back on. Had to recenter the rear track bar, but it was all fairly easy to get done.
Tows better and the ride is super nice now. I'm happy with the look, it stayed pretty similar to before with the 35s.
Going to be listing the rear "lift package" here soon.
