I bought this truck three months ago and nothing but problems. After a few weeks I had grinding/grabbing/binding problems in yhe front, more so on the passenger side. I replaced the calipers and brake pads on both sides. Then I took the pads out on the passenger side and filed a bit of the ears for an easier fit. After all of that, after driving 6-8 miles the grinding gets worst along with steering performance…it gets lose. But after parking it overnight when I get back in it the next day it feels semi normal fir about 2 mikes then I start all over again. Can’t be certain but it looks like the intermediate steering column spindles look damage and maybe a result of the grabbing. It does not feel safe to drive. I took it to one shop to check illignment, any frame damage, and gave them all the same info yhat Im giving you. They said bleed the brakes. I did. Brakes work a little better. My truck still isnt driving right. Ive owned three other Rams and I know how they drove. Some of the pics, theres no editing function before sending. Please disregard.
