I found an excellent off-road shop in Phoenix called Desert Rat, and the owner spent easily over an hour going over the truck with me. He found where the drag link had been installed with the bend facing to the rear and was rubbing in a tight left turn. He aligned the truck and corrected this...

Good grief... but then we'll see where this goes next. I've been saying to myself, there must be some Chinese made listening device that can be attached to various components, and the signal sent wirelessly to your phone. This must exist, and why haven't any of these shops I've gone to used...

2022 Ram 2500 diesel Laramie – w/out assisted steering. Symptoms: Grinding noise & vibration you can hear and also feel in the steering wheel and the floorboard when in tight turns at slow speeds only. The vibration cannot be felt with the truck in park and turning the wheels in either...
