hey guys my 07 cummins is shaking real bad after hitting a big bump or any pot hole i did some research and it could be a couple different thing such as steering box, steering stablizer or trac bar bushing among other things, i have no clue.. any ideas what it would be? and feedback would be much appreciated. thank you

 

I have the exact problem in my truck, i got new tires which made it much better but it will still wobble a little going over a bump, but it use to wobble so bad it looked like my truck was bending and i had to slow down to about 20 just for it to stop

 

Bad trac bar bushings will cause a death wobble big time, Id start there. A steering stabilizer will contribute to it but usually not the main cause.

 

Check with RAM they have a recall on some of their truck on steering or Check with a RAM dealer.

A steering stabalizer is what solved the DW on my pop's old truck. After replacing ball joints and tires. Also a nice upgrade. There are lots of them out there not just this one^^. Shop around.

 

Ball joints.

 

I had death wobble problems with my 2003, my mechanic said that the problem appeared to be that everything in the front end was showing wear. I had dynatrac ball joints, new track bar bushings, BD diesel steering box stabilizer, and a new steering stabilizer installed. Not only did all this cure the death wobble problems but the truck steers and handles better than ever now.

 

This ^^^^^^. I figured as long as we were making a list I'd throw in ball joints.

 

if you have spacers on the front wheel and tire. it causes bad death wobble. found that out the hard way but its ok. 20's fixed that problem.

 

The steering box stabilizer makes a huge difference in how the trucks steering feels! Its a great upgrade
