Vehicle experienced the "death wobble", replaced the steering gear box stabilizer/brace, did not fix the problem, this happens when going highway speeds and you encounter bumps, the vehicle shakes violently and you have to pull over and slow down to stop the shaking, the other fixes are very expensive, and should be a recall. Numerous other people have experienced the same issues with these vehicles.

My complaint is with the front end of my 2008 dodge ram 3500 quad cab dually diesel. I have been getting the death wobble after replacing everything in the front end except the drag link steering link. I have the factory "y" type and was told dodge was replacing them with the "t"style. Please advise before I get killed in this thing. Highway between 40 and 65 I hit a bump andthe front end starts jumping all over the place uncontrollably until I come to an almost stop.
