Vibration and sound when making slow right turn

[pathogen]

Hi,

I have a 2019 Laramie 1500 4x4.

Recently, I have noticed that occasionally, when I am making a slow right turn, I can feel some slight vibration in the steering wheel and a slight sound. Then it immediately goes away. I never experience it on the left side.

I cannot reproduce it at will unfortunately.

Any idea what this might be?

Thanks!

Are you in 4x4 auto? Could be one wheel is out of alignment.

Nope, unfortunately not the case.

Maybe check for a bad wheel bearing.

Just to share with everyone, this seems to have done the trick!

I had the same problem. This TSB fixed it. I heard it more when backing up

Yup, that's the fix.

My Ram is currently in the garage getting this fixed. They claim it's a software update that will fix the problem. I was experiencing vibration during slow (10mph) right turns. It's a known problem that Ram created and has remedied, yet is not a recall nor covered under extended warranties or service plans. Ram isn't interested in paying to fix their own problem. So $350 out of my pocket for 2 hours of labor (1 for 20 minute diagnostic and one for 3 minute software update.) Should have it back tonight.

I'm getting it on both left and right hand turns - 2019 Ram - piece of **** - It will be the last American truck I purchase

I had the sound for awhile and went away after I had new tires installed. I think I will eventually have to bring it in to the dealer to have the update done in the TSB. I’ll have to wait until I can reproduce it again though. I think it happens when tires wear down just enough to cause some suspension component to rub somewhere. The stock Goodyear crap tires wore down quickly so it didn’t take long for it to happen.

My truck does this, but only when applying the breaks and if there is a bump or uneven surface. I figured out it was the ABS activating on the rear right wheel.
