We have a 2000 Dodge Ram. I normally will pull our Montana a couple of hours away over to the coast and get it all set up so the husband can come over after work on Friday night and relax but the steering wanders so much that I refuse to drive it until it’s fixed. He agrees it’s bad, but doesn’t mind driving it.
We changed tires on it twice in one month trying to help it but didn't gain any improvement. We’ve also had it in the Dodge dealer trying to fix it.
There is a July 2011 Chrysler recall of 2003 to 2011 Rams because their left-side tie rods can break allowing the left front tire to move independently and we had that looked at and replaced just in case.
Also is an after market fix that was advertised in the "Trailer Life” magazine a couple of times earlier this year. My other half says he is going to buy it and repair our truck. I didn’t pay any attention to what it was so I can’t pass on that information here.
We own an automotive repair shop so you know the old saying about the shoemaker’s kids not wearing shoes... our truck (and I) are still waiting.
If you have an older Dodge Ram with the steering problem and fixed it, please, let me know how you did it.
I’m thinking I’m going to start withholding dinner from the husband until he fixes the truck.
