#3 of 17 Steering Problem by michellem13 Dec 21, 2008 (2:40 pm)
While making a left turn my the steering on my 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 went bad. While trying to change lanes to the right my stering was hard to turn and it seemed as if I was still turning left while in fact I was moving toward the right in an effort to switch lanes. It almost seems as if the pwer steering pump has gone out but I am uncertain about this or the fact that my steering wanted to stay turned (to the left) while I was driving straight and moving toward the right hand lane. Can any one point me in the right direction? Replies to this message: lencho (Aug 31, 2009 6:18 pm)

#6 of 17 Dodge Steer Wander by yotachev Jan 18, 2009 (1:12 pm)
After 2 months of scratching my head over my newer cummins steer issue. I believe the solution assuming ALL steer conponents are tight and in good condition is... BD offers a steering box stabilizer that assist in locking your frame rails to the steering gear or sector shaft to reduce steering gear twisting from high torque and weight of the cummins eng.. thus eliminating most of the dodge wander...

#8 of 17 07.5 Ram Steering Problem by tames Apr 22, 2009 (11:35 am)
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 17 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)

Replying to: yotachev (Apr 22, 2009 6:08 pm) Thanks for the response, I have done everything on your list except the BD steer stabilizer, I will try that next.
