Two problems related to front suspension wheel bearing have been reported for the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving from detroit airport east on highway 94 when my truck started to shake like hell and I thought I had two flat tires in the front. I hit the brakes and the truck become un steerable and started to turn sideways with two lanes of traffic coming at me. This was a very scary ride. I pulled over after I downshifted and the shaking stopped but there was nothing flat or loose that I could see several other drivers stopped to see what had happened. I called a local Dodge dealer and was told that I most have bad brake rotors. I have changed the rotors on all 4 wheels the front wheel bearings the shocks the front stabilizer shock and new brake pads on all 4 wheels still shakes just as bad . I have had several close calls and I want a fix or I will buy a new Ford truck. The bad part of this, is that I retired after 44years with Chrysler.

The wheel bearing were replaced less than 20,000 miles ago and needed a second replacement. The contact believed the failure to be a defect because the bearings failed twice with very little mileage on the vehicle. The dealer stated that the component was not under recall. The failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
