SOURCE: 2000 Dodge Caravan....broken wheel studs...

Yeah , it's a fairly simple repair, All the wheel studs must be replaced and lug nuts also.Closely examine the wheel or get competent tyre replacement company to double check for damage ! Remove the brake disc caliper and brake disc itself (usually 2 cross head screws) , tap off (gently) it may be stuck thru corrosion / rust etc , Broken studs can be knocked out(towards drive shaft ) of the hub assy with a suitable drift and hammer (splined into hub) . The studs are a servicable replacement part. Check all other wheel nuts as this is usually a result from poor fixing or wheel replacement recently .. Good luck

SOURCE: vibration in front end

It is likely both your track bar and the lack of a steering gear box stabilizer. The bushings on your stock track bar can be replaced with polyeurethane or metal bushings which will help curb the problem.
The steering stabilizer attaches to your steering gear box and your frame allowing the steering to be more stable. I have put both on my truck and it drives like a caddy now as a result. If I had to choose between the two items, my money would go to the steering stabilizer first. I believe I bought mine here:

SOURCE: 2004 dodge ram 4x4 front end shaking problems when

Could possibly need the steering box adjusted. It might be a little loose. And tire balance usually makes it shimmy. Could have a broken belt in one of the tires. Jack up the wheel and spin the tire and check the run out. (look for a wiggle when spinning the tire).

Dodge Intrepid ES 3.5. How to reset my ECM or TCM please?

To reset you just disconnect the battery for an hour or two, HOWEVER if you do that you have to reset the security system and engine immobilizer.

Second HOWEVER, your issue will be nothing to do with the ECM or TCM. Vibration is caused by unbalanced reciprocal motion or something loose and moving when it shouldn't.

Check tyre pressures.
Are you Lead Wheel weights in place.
Jack the car up, spin the wheel. Does it run straight and true, or is the wheel oval? Does the tyre have bulges in the tread or on the inner or outer sidewalls?

Spin the wheel again. Does it run smoothly and quietly or are the wheel bearings rough, crunchy and loose?

Grasp the top and bottom of the wheel, push the top and pull the bottom. Is there any play? Do the same front and back of the wheel. Any play there?

Now get underneath, and check Steering Tie Rod ends, top and bottom ball joints for play and wear.

Check the transmission CV Joints for play.

Your vibration problem is in the list above. Outside chance it is engine or transmission mounts

Torque specs. for replacing tie rod end on dodge stratus, replacement rod came with slotted nut and cotter pin

Hello
Welcome!
The torque spec for the tyrod ends are 45 foot pounds.

• Unlock the steering wheel before jacking up the vehicle. This allows the Steering linkage to be moved for the best possible access to the ends' fasteners by grabbing one of the axle hubs
• Secure the vehicle on jackstands before removing the wheels.
• Buy name-brand tie-rod ends. Saving a few dollars on cheaply made parts isn't worth the risk.
• Mark the tie-rod ends' positions on their threaded adjusters before removing the old ends. This way, the new ends can be screwed in to approximately the same position as the old ones to get wheel allimint in the ballpark.
• Have the vehicle professionally aligned afterward, especially if the steering wheel isn't centered or the vehicle pulls one direction when attempting to drive straight.

Signs your haveing probloms with the tyrod ends

• Front-end shimmy, shake or vibration.
• Abnormal front-end noise.
• Hard steering.
•steering wheel doesn't return to center properly.
• Vehicle wanders.
• Steering feels unstable, loose or has excessive play.

i would suspect somewhere in your front end you have a compliance bushing with excessive movement. these cars front ends depend heavily on these style bushings, and as they wear you can start to see tire wear patterns, looseness in steering, and high speed vibration. make sure you have the front end inspected by a shop that is familier with these types of cars. good luck!

Tire vibration

hi, to me this could either be that one of the weights have fallen off as this does happen from time to time if the wheel was not cleaned properly before the weights were put on if the balance is perfect then the only other problem you could have would be with the track rod end this also would need looking at to see if their was any play their causing this wobble.
It could also be down to the wheel bering but this is the least likely cause.

I would jack the front of the car up and put it on stands then grab hold of the tyre and try turning the wheel by hand fast back and forth as if you was turning the steering wheel left and right so give the wheel a wiggle and if their is any play then this indicates the track rod end needs replacing try doing this both sides of the car.

If you have no play then try swapping the front wheels with the back then this way if the wobble stopped you know its the wheels at fault but if the wobble is still their then this would indicate a fualt with the steering ie the trak rod ends need replacing.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Vibration in steering wheel when a bump or other object in the road is hit

You probably have a worn tie-rod. Jack one side of the car up at a time so that one front wheel is off the ground. Grab the wheel and try to turn it back and forth. You should not feel any play. When you find a wheel with play, reach around the wheel with one hand and grab the inner tie rod and hold it still while pushing and pulling on the wheel. If the play goes away, replace the inner tie rod end. If it does not go away, replace the outer tie rod end.
