Six problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Dodge 1500 06 tie rod failures. . About every 30000 miles I am having to replace tie rod ends due to the lack of factory lube points. . (no zerk fitting per dealer reason for failure). . . . . The looser it got the harder it is to control at breaking. . .
My 2006 Dodge 4x4 mega cab is wobbling all over the road @ speeds of 50 + mph I have installed new shocks , front damper and a new pitman arm , what's to be done next????.
The pickup shakes violently when hitting a bump at speed from 60 -75. Very dangerous.
Left front tire is showing wear on the outside edge. Dealer stated tire was out of balance and needed rotation. Truck has 13,000 miles on it. I am not sure I agree with this diagnoses. Truck also has a vibration when driving between 55 and 70 mph.
Brought vehicle home from dealer with heavy vibration at 65 mph. Took vehicle to dealer, which couldn't balance tires, they sent them to a tire store. Tires were balanced, vibration better but still there. Took vehicle to another tire store where one tire was replaced and other 3 tires balanced again. Vibration much better, but still notice slight shake and vibration starting at 57-60 mph. Feels like a wobble, feel it in the seat and steering wheel. Dealer says that tires can't be balanced beyond 55 mph. Finding other instances of this on websites for 2006 rams. Doesn't feel like road feel from tight suspension, feels like something is loose in wheel assembly or tires are still not perfect. Could be driveshaft.
: the contact stated while the vehicle is turning left, there is a rubbing noise in the front end. The dealership is aware of the noise, and the manufacturer is currently designing a repair.
