My 1999 Ram 1500 had one. I never heard this term “death wobble” before.
I never knew this was common to other Dodge trucks. I just knew mine had it. I spent hundreds on front end alignments - didn't work.
I sold the piece of junk. Will never buy Dodge again.
We didn’t know what to call it either until we went on some truck forums on the internet. We saw videos of cameras placed under the trucks to see what actually happens, and it’s frightening.
It’s not exclusive to Dodge trucks, but it seems that most people who complain of it own Dodges. Also old Ford Broncos.
We ended up replacing almost everything...ball joints, wheel bearings, track bar, steering box, pivot arms, added a dual shock kit, replaced the tires, realigned it God knows how many times...
It has since stopped *crosses fingers* but we’re still leery. We don’t know what part fixed it, if it’s fixed at all.
