Need to know what is causing a death wobble in my front end of my truck when i hit a pothole or bump when traveling at higher rate of speed.i have a 2005 ram 2500 hd diesel with leveler kit and 315 bfg's .

 

You need to make sure your tires are balanced good and have equal pressure.

Then you need to put your castor from a negative to a positive and install a KORE racing single shock sterring stabilizer.

 

had tires balanced and press set on all for just a day before the last time this happened.still have stock stabilizer,do you think the stabilizer is the only problem?also replaced stock shocks in front with ranchos and had alingment done at same time.

 

I was rollin down the highway on sat goin 75mph and a brand new ram went past me goin like 85 and it started to death wobble it was crazy watching that thing shake

 

put a stabilizer on mine and it stopped but mines a 92 1 ton dually

 

this is not a fun thing when it happens,had the flat bed with the rhino on it and had all the traffic around me slow way back till i got down to about 45 before it stopped.thanks for all the response ,i will need to check into a good stabilizer and will report back later to see if this is the fix.am new to forum and hope to get as much use as i can on any other probs or questions.

 

lay under your truck with someone else moving the steering wheel. look at both ends of the track bar. this is the most common culprit.

 

What are you looking for??? just Loosness or anything in particular?

 

looking for play in any component, specifically the track bar.
when someone moves the whell as you look , you should be able to see play in anything though.

 

are your 315s load range D? these trucks are designed for load range E tires.

 

i have had this truck since it was small and have never seen this happen before till just a little while ago. and when it happens you will know. speed 110 km per hr hit a soft multiple bump then the whole truck starts to vibrate like i was washboard and wont stop till i slow down to under 70 km per hr it seems to get worse the longer you go, then it just stops as quick as it started, i have changed stabilizer bar, track bar, both tie rod ends, its time for tires so those are next, but i suspect ball joints

 

Either a bad alignment or warn parts causing the tires to become misaligned over bumps. Sometimes a new steering stabilizer can remedy the wobble but it doesnt always fix the problem. Inspect all tie rod ends and bushings. If they are tight then you need an alignment.

 

Caster made my 98 Ranger death wobble terribly! I had a solid axle conversion and once the caster was set properly it all but stopped...I did have to use a good track bar, too. I built mine with hiems (no rubber).

also the steering shock on mine went and it did the wobble till i put a new one on

 

You might want to check the pitman arm. With that new of a truck it probably isnt your problem, but where i live it is pretty common on 2nd gens. The pitman arm will get loose and lean when you turn or hit a hard bump I actually saw one one time that was so lose when I grabbed it the nut and lock washer fell off. Regardless these motors we love are so **** heavy that the front end wont hold up to the weight if you dont stay solely on the road, which is usually impossible.
