I was on the Mass Pike driving about 60-65 mph next to about a 2005 3500 dually when it went into a wobble.It was crazy how much the tires were jumping around and squeeling rubber.But it must make most if not all front suspention worn once this starts happening.It was truley frightning to see how violent and extreme this wobble is.That reason alone is good enough for me to stick with the short commings of GMs IFS.

Read through the thread listed in my signature. It has everything we have found to date that causes steering and front end issues.

I had the same problem in my 03 it was inner tie rod... i would be driving down the interstate hit a bridge and it was horrible.... the front ends on these trucks are **** ... but like other people say i bout a cummins not a dodge.. and honestly you have to physically check all the joints by hand ... i took mine to the shop and they must have been stupified cuz they said the tie rod ends were ok... i checked it my self and one was like completely gone
