Didn’t think anything of it at the time, just figured it hadn’t been torqued on a previous alignment. Not ideal, but whatever.

    Now this letter comes and dang!

    I have heard of others buying the Synergy drag link PN#8701-01 and submitting for a reimbursement from FCA successfully, so that’s what I’m going to try to do.

    And if they don’t cover it, $300 is worth it to me for the safety and retaining the ability to still adjust instead of getting a new one with welded nuts
    Looks like a solid piece, anyone else running this? I would love to get Ram to pay for this.

    IMO, the OEM unit will be fine for me and most if we just check the tightness, put some locktite on it. I will add some cheap stainless hose clamps that are wide that snug up to the nut and are wide and flat and tighten those over the threading without damaging the threads. synergy or other co. that make solid tre's and drag's with better joints. they are really nice and will be a upgrade for me down the road when I cross that path.

    I know this is old news, but I was at my local ram dealership looking at the stock steering setup to compare were I am at after a 3 inch lift and I noticed this.

    Wow, I would be pissed if my brand new truck had this done at the factory. Is this a 2019?

    Received the recall paper in mail about 2 weeks ago. Happened to notice my steering wheel wasn’t centered on way home from our last camping trip. Checked drag link and one of the nuts was hand tight. No way I was gonna let them weld the nuts to the sleeve. So I did loctite on both nuts and tightened all I could, so far so good.

    Welding those nuts is complete and utter BS, especially for those of us who use our trucks off-pavement.

    I purchased a lifetime alignment at Firestone, and take my truck in there about every 6mo-1 year to have it realigned.

    I put a lot of miles on dirt roads, and the freeways in WA are *****, so it needs it.

    Those nuts get re-torqued by them, or should, every time.
