Dodge Ram 4x4 full size pickup trucks are subject to "death wobble" due to front end wear when the suspension is raised and larger than factory sized tires are used. My '05 long cab 4X4 Ram is a thug with a Cummins diesel engine, Kore suspension and a Toyo Open Country 34. After 21,000 miles I replaced the stock steering damper (it was fine) with an expensive Radflo repairable nitrogen unit from South Africa. At 23,000 miles, serious death wobble began at highway speeds, with the front wheels hitting an overpass expansion joint, pothole, or bump in the pavement. This is a potentially deadly situation as the front wheels of the car are out of control and you are out of control of the steering wheel. I have a great sense of humor but it's no fun on a two lane country road with oncoming traffic at 100 km/h! While I was concerned about spending money on worn ball joints, tie rod ends, or tie rods, I suspected the failed steering damper replacement simply wasn't up to the task, and promptly replaced it with a stock Monroe Magnum unit. Think the problem is solved. The cushioning effect of the Radflo device was completely destroyed after only 2,000 miles of combined highway and commuter traffic (despite the 85 psi nitrogen charge remaining). Compressing or stretching the Radflo steering damper outside of the vehicle was absolutely effortless. This worthless foreign dump has ended up on the garbage heap! By the way . The Monroe steering damper cost approximately 20% of the cost of the Radflo unit it replaced. Word to the wise, buy an American!
