1997 ram, violent font end shake
Had upper and lower ball joints replaced a few hundred miles ago and the truck had run just fine. Just replaced the the front bearings, axle seals, left axle shaft (Spicer brand) and right U-joint. Now at highway speeds if I hit just the right bump the front of the truck will start to shake and within a few seconds the shaking is violent, almost have to come to a complete stop for shaking to stop.
Any ideas on what is causing this? Your help is greatly appreciated, Bruce

Re: 1997 ram, violent font end shake
You're suffering the dreaded Death Wobble.
The steering shaft bearings and or drag link are badly worn.
