front end shakes

My 2000 ram 2500 4x4 has developed a violent shake any time I hit a bump in the road at over 30 mph. I have to come to a complete stop to get it back under control. This started about 2 months before I had a front tire blow out. I replaced all 4 tires, and the problem went away for about 3 months, but came back and is getting worse. Any suggestions?

Front end shakes

You will probably find that you have a bearing or piviot point wornout? Jack one side and with a 3 ft bar gently leaver each joint to see if it is worn/ out? Have someone move the steering wheel a little to see if something isn't moving? My guess might be wheel bearing??? Sounds like you should find it before something happens? Then see if other big parts are wearing out. Good luck.

I had the same thing happen. The track bar was bad. Had it replaced and no more problem.
