We've replace a bunch of front end parts and it still feels loose in the front end and actually makes a thumping sound that sounds like it's coming from under your feet while your driving it. -new track bar -new borgison steering box -new borgison steering shaft -couple tie rods -shocks Axle joints squeak

I think the consensus is that you've got to do everything after you start having problems. I would even look at doing the hub bearings. The other thing to add is the steering box reinforcement. Is this a plow truck? Any rust? 1970 Plymouth Barracuda 1994 Ram 1500 4x4 5.2L 2004 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7L Quad Cab

Now it doesn't thump under the floorboard and it drives down the highway without wandering. 1967 Dodge Dart GT 3.23 sure grip 8.75/727/360 .020 over w/edelbrock heads 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab CTD

Do the 05's still use a leaf front? I'm not sure now. Last edited by hp383; 03/20/13 11:25 PM. Join the Penguin Liberation Front!! Stop the Hippo Occupation!

I've since put on the center caps. I'll try to post a picture. I also did moog gresable ball joints and gresable axle u joints. I went from 2 to 10 grease fittings.
