#56 of 72 Dodge Magnum front end shudder by purdey Sep 04, 2007 (7:23 am)
I have a 2006 Magnum AWD with less than 9,000km, which has developed a bad shudder in the front end when turning sharply at low speed, such as into/out of garage, U-turns etc? Anyone else got this? Replies to this message: bbfd86 (Sep 05, 2007 5:28 am) blarneystone (Sep 12, 2007 5:46 pm)

Replying to: purdey (Sep 04, 2007 7:23 am) My 2005 R/T AWD and had the same shuddering problem during low speed turning. There is a TSB out there on this issue. The first time, the dealer flushed out the transfer case. When the shudder returned they replaced the transfer case. Haven't had the problem since the replacement.

Replying to: bbfd86 (Sep 05, 2007 5:28 am) Do you have the TSB number? My 2006 300c AWD has the same exact problem but the dealer denies there is any TSB out there and doesn't notice the noise even when I drive the car with him in it.
#59 of 72 Continental Tires Cupping, 05 Dodge Magnum by thang111 Oct 15, 2007 (12:09 pm)
Only have 11,000 miles on original Continental tires. They have cupped (all 4). Continental says out of balance/suspension/lack of rotation the problem. Never have had a car, even with gross neglect of the tire maintenance that have cupped. Now dealing with the rump rump rump sound which is aggravating. Continental does not acknowledge any responsibility. Have cross rotated the tires to attempt to even the wear. Anybody out there with history with this problem. Tempted to get new tires.

Replying to: thang111 (Oct 15, 2007 12:09 pm) Dump the Crapinentals! Mine only lasted 16000 miles before they were down to the wear bars. Got Cooper 18" touring tires (exact OEM size) and they made all the difference in the world. Now with almost 26000 miles on the Coopers they still look great and ride great. Cuppping usually relates to alignment issues. You might want to have that checked, but regardless you need to get new tires ASAP!
#61 of 72 Cupped Conti's replaced 05 Magnum R/T by thang111 Oct 18, 2007 (2:00 pm)
Replaced my 4 Conti's which were cupped after less than 11k miles. Got some satisfaction from Continental, They gave me $75 credit for each tire. Most of that went back to the Tire Center however for their mounting charges etc. Did however have the wheels aligned. Perhaps the cause of the cupping problem to begin with. Had to replace with the same tire however. Am now enjoying the wonderful quiet ride again. Will definitely pay attention to rotation and alignment henceforth. Seems the Magnum/Continental is sensitive to tire maintenance.
#62 of 72 2007 R/T AWD Rims? by snakebit99 Nov 06, 2007 (6:00 pm)
I have been looking at tire/rim packages for my new 2007 Magnum R/T AWD. There seems to be many package choices for the RWD version but very limited for the AWD. Question: Assuming the bolt pattern & back space are correct. Why would there be such a difference between AWD vs RWD rims? Can I go up a size to 20"? Also based on the adverse tire info here on the Continentials, what is a good agressive tread tire for the AWD (lots of snow here) that will give a good quiet ride. Thanks for the help.

I found that going to tirerack.com is a good resource...asks questions on what's important to you...snow, handling, etc.   I have an 06 and am leaning towards the Goodyear Eagle R series

Replying to: snakebit99 (Nov 06, 2007 6:00 pm) FYI: Just talked to the guys at Tire Rack. AWD rims have a different back space than RWD. Replies to this message: jacklionel (Nov 20, 2007 9:57 am) jacklionel (Nov 20, 2007 12:01 pm) thang111 (Dec 11, 2007 1:34 pm) and 1 more...
