bummer... the steering gets looser and looser as speed increases and dare not change lanes on the highway with this problem or you will have to turn the wheel a full 8 to 10 inches back to get control of the vehicle.....she has a mind of her own this truck..... i just had the entire front end replaced (new front rear end as it's a 4X4)..... cost about $240. and well worth it....this truck is my baby.... modified for off road and sand..... worth over 9 grand as it is ..... otherwise it's all original tranny, engine, etc.... upkeep is a must and change the oil faithfully at 3,000 miles and your dodge will run for a long time..... be blessed people :)
