Re: 1996 Dogde Ram Shaking like a mother %&$@

You might want to check the lower control arm.
I had a similar problem on my 67 Chevy Pickup, and one of the U-Bolts that holds the Lower ontrol Arm had broken.
The mechanic said God was watching over me, cause if that thing would have letloose it would have pitched the Front of the Truck and fliped it over!

I have checked the engine mounts and transmission mounts they are fine.

And I'll take a look at the joints in the drive shafts (front and rear).

if i can't find it I will take it in the a shop Pay them $70.00 to tell me what the problem is.
I would rather spend the money. then mess around on it too long.

I have An idea that its the torque converter.

I will post more when I find out
