Steering has been loose for years. I have replaced most everything on the front end hoping to resolve this issue. Recently 2015 I have replaced the steering shaft hoping this would finally fix the issue. NOPE!
The steering has about 1/4 turn of play. My only guess now is the steering box needs to be replaced. I see some info about Dodge steering issues and some companies selling special column bushings and other braces/brackets to fix this issue but I can't put any more money into this truck.
The steering is dangerous and I wander over the road unless I really pay attention and focus to control the drift.
Another recall item????
