Hey everyone,
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 RWD 5.7. I have just completed a 5,400 mile cross country trip from NC to Grand Canyon towing a 22’ single axle travel trailer weighing roughly 4600 LBS dry. On the return trip near Oklahoma I started noticing a vibration when pulling off from a dead stop. I passed it off as possible brakes sticking on the trailer but wasn’t sure because it was a rental. I got home and the vibration continued, again only when I pulled off from a dead stop. I crawled under her to see what I could see. I observed the center support bearing housing had rubber between the shaft and housing, and the rubber was completely separated from the shaft/housing with a 1/16 gap or so visible. I should be under warranty as I only have 31,400 miles on it. But……
1. What would cause that, because I took it real easy on the towing?
2. Should I park it, scheduled appointment not until July 21st. Earliest available.
