Hi
I am new to the site and just got my first diesel. I just pick up my truck a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 sport plus HO 6spd short box quad cab and it is bone stock(135,000kms). On the drive home I noticed the truck is realy hard to keep it in a staight line. I looked at a lot of trucks before I got this one and on one of them the track bar was realy worn and it drove like mine. Mine the track bar looks fine and with someone moving the steering wheel I don't see anything realy worn or scary. What else shood I look at? Is this just how the trucks handles? Are there steering upgrade kits for this truck?

 

You have a 4x4 and I have a 2x4 but do a search on track bars and front end align on this site. You will find enough info to keep you reading for quite a while.

 

a little late on the post here but.. Did you check the tire pressure? When I bought my truck some genious had 50lbs in the driver side tires and 40lbs on the passinger side. I had a heck of a time driving it home for 3 hours on the highway I guess I'm the smart one for not stopping to check them my self!

 

I have a hard time with mine as well. Mine is the output shaft on my steering box. It moves side to side instead of just spinning. Might want to lay under your truck while someone is turning your steering wheel back and forth.
