Once again, a big thank you for watching and subscribing. I hope you find this video helpful. I noticed torque steer when towing mainly is what lead me to replace the arms... has made a huge difference. I no longer get torque steer or wandering going down the highway. Everything seems nice and tight like a brand new truck! It's been a long time since I've been excited for a repair and this was it!
I love the use of the adjustable wrench
Another great video Dave 💯👍🏽
Thank you Ricky! I appreciate you!
@@DavesBuild I appreciate you Dave for taking the time to upload these videos. They have helped me a lot with my ram.
Help, I’m having a weird feeling towards the back of the truck. Specially when I go into a complete stop and accelerate feels like if something moves or goes into gear. But no noise, or scraping like gears or anything like that. My mechanic took a look at the shaft, he said it looked steady not much play. He couldn’t take a look at the differential cause he would have to drain fluid and open it. One small thing he did noticed was the REAR lower and UPPER control Arms had little play. To his point of view it’s possibly where the movement is coming from.
Did you ever had any issue close to that description!!
Sorry I missed your comment! This is actually sounding like you have bind in the slip yoke on the rear driveline. There are a few videos and forums online about this exact issue.
Inspecting my trailing arms and the bushings are dry rotted, I also notice play with a pry bar, do I need to uninstall to fully diagnose or is it safe to say they’re gone
My 2011 dodge ram 1500 rear bck wobbles and the dodge dealership told me theres nothing wrong with it I mean how can that be i can see the bck tires kinda wobble when i drive n goes side to side on bumps idk whats wrong with my ram 😥 😔
Could be the four rear control arms looks for cracks or separation in the rubber bushings. When mine went bad when I let of the gas I could feel the axle shift.
@@leecrumble3921 i took it to the shop and now I'm stuck with $8.053.0 I took it in for that back wobbling but instead they checked in the hood n told me I need the cam shaft lifters omg its been 3 or 4weeks now my truck is still there at dealership damn 8gz omg
Dave,
I’m looking to get the tufftruck coil springs. How do you like the ride? Soft or firm?
I like them! They ride like factory unless you hit some big bumps.
What problems were you having in the rear to replace the springs and control arms?
Truck rear was sagging and I was getting torque steer we accelerating while towing mainly.
Dave,
Question for you. I put a 2 inch spacer in the rear on top of the coil springs and now I get a rear bounce/hop at 50mph. Under 50mph or over no bounce/hop. Also, I get a rear vibration under my center console only at 70mph. Do you have this problem with your truck?
That's weird, I do not have that issue. Could be a coincidence that your shocks may have went out at the same time? 🤷♂️
@@DavesBuild yea, I will check those out. Thanks
@Ricky Slatton are the shocks long enough? I doubt that 2 inches you would need an adjustable trailing arm. If you have stock shocks good possibility?
