Hello. I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 12V Diesel 4x4 extended cab. I recently replaced the front 2 shocks and steering damper. Before replacing them, whenever I hit a large bump the shocks would bottom out. Also quite often the front left wheel would begin to bounce up/down uncontrolably whenever I hit some rough roadway. I replaced the front shocks thinking this would solve my problems. I replaced them with two new Monroe Reflex 911193 shocks (for 8800lb GVW). Now the ride is much better. The shocks don't bottom out whenever I hit a large bump, however, the left front tire still occassionally begins to bounce up/down uncontrolably when I hit some rough roadway - although not as much as before. Question - What am I missing here??? All ball joints were changed approx 2 years ago and I don't believe there's a problem here. The tires are fairly new and balanced properly. I can't see or feel anything loose on the front end. I was thinking of trying the Monroe Gas Magnum shocks before panicing and taking it to the shop. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.

 

Best I can say is look up death wobble and go from there.

 

Yeah, buddy, that's death wobble.

Shocks are a small piece of what needs to be addressed. You are probably looking at a trac bar, ball joints, tie rod ends and an alignment to completely cure it.
