This may be a silly question.

But, since I have been able to find out a ton of info on this site, I thought I would ask anyway.


Is there any issues with the front ends on the 06 2500, now that I have 20000 on the ticker, the front end just seems a little loose, nothing major, but not as tight as it was in the past, I was curious if my larger tires could have caused some pre mature wearing on u joints or something.

Sorry for the girly desciptions, but I am not much of a wrencher and just want to know if it needs to go to the dealer while it is still under warranty......

Might want to check out the upper and lower ball joints, they tend to wear out real early. My drivers side was loose at 33K miles but of course DC said it was well with in specs.
