2003 Dodge Ram 2500 in December 2004 I had to have all 3 ball joints replaced the truck only had 42262 miles on it. Then just last month in October I had to replace another ball joint as it was going out already. From what I have read this is not normal wear on a vechicle

Shudder when starting out, 50% of the time. Problem has increased over the past year. There is a service bullitin for an exact situation on a split drive shaft. Dealer could not fix. Factory rep. Said it was a weight districbution that wold cause the tire to spin. This is not correct. I tow a trailer with 800 lbs. Of tounge weight, the problem is enhanced with weight. Problem is increasing. Worried of eventual total failure to move or extreme hesitation causing accident at intersection.
