I have a 2007.5 2500 with a Cummins that I have put over $2000.00 dollars in the front end and it still steers like a herd of cows. Anybody else have a solution to the problem. The truck has just over 50,000 miles
#9 of 16 Dodge Ram Steering Wander check list...03 and UP 3/4 1 ton trucks by yotachev Apr 22, 2009 (6:08 pm)
I have spent many hours on the notorious dodge wander and hope my check list will eliminate most of your wander assuming your truck is stock.. 1)check tire pressures/ tires and vehicle toe in... 2)check for excessive play in tie rod and draglink ends. 3)remove dampener/steer stabilizer check absorbtion 4)check for worn u joints on steer shaft 5)lift truck and check front wheel bearings for excessive play 6)with truck lifted check ball joints 7)with truck still lifted place a long screwdriver between the upper ball joint and axle. the upper ball joint must move a slight up and down. if no movement replace upper ball joint with dodge ball joints only.. 8)Check steering gear/ steer box for excessive play 9)install BD steer stabilizer hope some of the info helps in isolating the dodge wander problem Replies to this message: tames (Apr 23, 2009 4:24 am)

#11 of 16 06 mega cab steering problem by blue06mega Jun 22, 2009 (8:50 pm)
I have a 2006 2500 Dodge Mega cab Hemi with 39,000 miles. I have had many problems with it. My transmission, my fluids leaking, my electrical system, my steering. I have also had it to many different dealers, the first one said they didn't see any problems. The second found the leak in my heater core. then it went down hill with the steering. They second dealer replaced the pitman arm, there was still something wrong, the third one replaced my ball joints, there is still something wrong with it. I took it back to the dealer they told me cant help u sorry. I have tried to get a factory rep. Im not getting anywhere with that. I have checked the tires, the air pressure, and just about everything else. Anybody have any ideas.
#12 of 16 Someone Help it never goes away by peteicm Jul 06, 2009 (5:33 pm)
I know everyone writes small post but I feel you may need to hear the whole story in order to help me I own a awesome 2006 Dodge 2500 Hemi Quad Cab 6' Bed Pick up. I love my truck for a about six months out of a year, I have a Knocking problem in the steering, you can feel it in the pedals as well. You don't feel the knocking at high speed usually around 25 to 45. After only having the truck 6 months i had it in the shop. the mechanic told me that my truck was the first of the dealership to have the problem, they called in some big shot to identify the problem, that was after they replaced the u joints the hubs parts in the supension, The final answer was the INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, I remarked something like you had my truck for a week, I don't even know what that is, truck drove great for 6 months then back agian. I have replaced the Intermediate shaft four times in three years, So just a month ago its back knocking agian i brought the truck to a different dealer, that said that it was the upper and lower ball joints I had them replaced, well now its still knocking and at 65 i have a quick vibration in the steering. I did tell them about my history with the shaft problem they disregarded it and made me pay 1500 for new ball joints and the problems are worse. Some one please help

I don't know if this will help, but everybody with steering problems take a look at this site. I haven't tried these yet. www.lukeslink.com I've got other problems, I have a vacuum pump oil supply line leak and no vacuum so I have no 4 wheel drive.

#15 of 16 Steering Problem by pbdraw Nov 10, 2009 (4:42 am)
I have a 2004 Dodge ram 2500 5.9 turbo deisel. I have replaced tires, up/low ball joints, tie rod ends, axle shaft ujoints, brakes. The truck seems to wander or dart from side to side. Feelslike I have no control. The faster you go the worse it is. The problem is, before I replaced everything the steering was great..
#16 of 16 Steer Problem 04 by yotachev Nov 10, 2009 (2:48 pm)
Are the upper ball joints factory or aftermarket.. The uppers must have a slight up and down play... If seized your 04 ram 2500 will dangerously dart especially over any bumps!!! Make sure all steer joints are tight, sames with wheel bearings and wheel allignment.
