dodge 1 ton (biker hauler fixed)

 any other rmd's have a pickup
with the death wobble?

i fixed it last night
rides like a much new-er truck now.

the wobble was an oscillation in the front
that only stopped when you wobbled to a stop
a new steering stabilizer shock didn't do it...
<a dodge steering BOX stabilizer did>
after bolting on a angle bracket under
the sway bar mounts that coupled
with the steering nut assy via a snazzy socket
the dreaded death wobble is solved.

i seems the steering box is only mounted at
the top so by bracing it at the bottom it
eliminated the flex/oscillation issue <grin>

search for dodge steering box brace for more info

I took the van to The Man today. I just can't fix everything myself
any more, because things go unfixed for far too long. It probably
needs a fuel pump - terrible job anyway, BTDT. If things go right (or
wrong depending on your point of view), the van might be near your
neighborhood soon.
Something about old motorcycles...

 
I wish some of you guys driving crap lived nearby- I'd have a lift by
now...

BTW my 2003 subaru with 160K is not crap- I hope.
