Thank you , Cole. Appreciate you and the CJC crew.

Great video in the first 5/minutes you covered more than what most of the other videos online cover. I’ve been chasing the play in my front end for about a year and this pretty much summed up one year of learning.

Glad it was helpful! That’s exactly what we were hoping to accomplish.

Great video to point out basic check points and clear illustrations. I have lots of experience with death wobble, the early (79) live axle ford's had it bad if you did any leveling, because leveling changed caster, and the way we fixed it on them and newer trucks, was to adjust the track arm height to get back caster.

EMF intermediate shaft bushing can be used on early model 2019 5th gen ram trucks as I have them on my 19 3500 dually with 200,000km and they made a massive improvement.

Hey Cole, I have a question regarding turning my 2014 ram in 2 Wheel Drive. The steering wheel shutters back to the straight position when coming out of a tight turn. A mechanic told me it was the steering box. Even after replacing the steering box, it still acts the same way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

@hamsawi23 Жыл бұрын

Helpful video! But what about adjusting the steering box for play? As in loosening the 21mm bolt and adjusting the screw on top of the box?

@CJCOffRoad Жыл бұрын

To be perfectly honest, if there's play, it's time to replace the box. While we wish tightening the screw fixed the box, it doesn't address everything inside that's worn.

My 2011 Ram 3500 mega cab single rear wheel diesel just at 98,000 miles developed a severe front end wobble. Is this assessment essential the same for and applicable to a 2011 model year??

So front shocks being worn will not cause loose front end feeling or death wobble ?

@CJCOffRoad 8 ай бұрын

No, worn front shocks would result in a bouncing or boat like front end feeling, but usually not death wobble. That said, the test outlined in this video will tell you exactly what's causing that on your particular truck.

If you already have a Carli upper and lower steering stabilizers do you need any extra or different clamps? Truck is a 2015 3500

Are you asking for Apex linkage?

@Sdukes001 10 ай бұрын

@@CJCOffRoad yes

@CJCOffRoad 10 ай бұрын

It depends on when your steering was made. Apex updated their drag link, and it will now work with a Carli 2019+ high mount. That said, it will not work with the older drag link. If you send us a photo, we can ID it for you.

@Sdukes001 10 ай бұрын

@@CJCOffRoad I haven’t bought the apex kit yet but am wondering if it will work with the current 2015 high and low mount set up currently with Carli stabilizers.

@CJCOffRoad 10 ай бұрын

You'll need the 19+ High mount since the shock length and clamp diameter are different. Sadly that was the only way we could make it work.

What is normal for a steering box. Wish you showed as all have some movement but how much is too much? Also why didn’t you show how to tighten the gear mesh on steering box

@CJCOffRoad Ай бұрын

There should be direct movement from the input and shaft and output shaft. The one shown has too much play and is out of spec. As for "tightening" the box via adjustment, that's kinda a myth. If there's play, the box is worn and needs to be re-built/replaced.

@codyjohnson3280 10 ай бұрын

So mine has issues going through the turns…it’s like the steering wheel is pulsing or has some kind of electronic steering correction that wants to pull you back straight. Anyone have any ideas because it really aggravating. It’s almost like someone is pulling the steering wheel the other way in a game of tug o war lol

@CJCOffRoad 10 ай бұрын

To us that sounds like a worn track bar as the number one culprit, or worn steering linkage. If you follow the method shown though, you’ll be able to see exactly what has play.
