Ram 2500 Front End Problems and Alignment - Thuren Suspension - Overland Offroad 4x4 35s tires

[@JohnDoe-gm5ux]

Ive had pulling to the right problems since installing Thuren a couple years ago. I went by their specs to align and went a little more and less to see if it changed any. I’ve been to several shops to see if they can help. I finally called Carli to see about changing to a different system. Super nice guys and they stated it’s common with these trucks but they have a stabilizer that uses pressure to counter the pulling that works with their kit. So as soon as I get a chance I’ll be getting this Thuren stuff off and going a different route.

Yeah they all pull to the right from what I’m hearing. I’ll check out that carli stabilizer. Thanks

A lot of 2500s chew off the outside front passenger straight off the lot.

Inside on my 04.5. Trying to figure it out these tires are too $$$ to not address the problem.

[@mikes4352]

After the shop looked at it, what did they say was the problem? Was it out of alignment? Thanks for sharing.

[@NickMango]

Yeah out of alignment 👍

[@Rob-Oh]

Camber way off on the right. Based on the way it was driving I bet they left something loose! Major Fu

[@mikes4352]

@@Rob-Oh I didn't know camber could be adjusted on a solid axle vehicle

[@thedude8976]

​@@mikes4352 Yeah same here I have a 02 04.5 both 2500 cummins both solid axle. Maybe the newer trucks are some how setup differently 🤔 IDK?

[@thedude8976]

But he mentioned that something was left un torqued?

[@Rommer2258]

Swapping the trackbar out to the thuren one is a good addition as well.

[@Kyle-fu6en]

Thuren has alignment specs on their website

Often you can fix a stuck zerk with some heat. I’ve unplugged a few on my tractor by heating it up with a torch just enough to melt the grease wad sticking the ball detent, then push fresh grease through.

[@NickMango]

I’m going to try that Bob thanks

[@harrywalker968]

@@NickMango put vacuum stops on the zerks.. keeps them clean.. they should of mentioned that tire the first time.. you can get bad new tires, i have 2, bounces at any speed.. 500 bucks each..ausie.. i sawp tires around every 3 months..

[@thedude8976]

Good idea 👍

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

I rub the Thuren specs and my dually still eats the inside edge just barely on my front tires

[@murdergorilla4087]

My 22' Cummins did the same thing with all factory suspension

[@zekeysmos88]

My 2020 dually is doing the exact same thing. What did you find out was the cause of the abnormal wear on the outer shoulder of the front passenger tire?

[@Burgslions4life]

Oh yeah ram content missed it!!

[@Neosconcept]

Can you let me know what notch your caster is pointing to left and right?

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

So…no actual tire diagnosis? Seems like A LOT of wear on n all of the tires for just 14k miles…or did I mishear? How often have you rotated them? FWIW, I have about 20k on my 315/70R17 BFG K02s, and aside from the typical slight vibration around 62 mph they’ve been perfect.

[@NickMango]

I don’t think 60% tread left on that many miles is bad at all. They’re made for wetter conditions and I’m running 8300lbs. I’m pretty happy with that. But the tire that was worn bad was because it was out of alignment.

[@burn4sher1]

Put a good zero on the bad spot grease it then put bad zero on

[@thedude8976]

Good idea Bad spelling ZERK FITTING 😆

[@mikel9741]

Wish I could have seen the left tire wear. Almost looks like too much toe-in. Lots of talk, tried to wade through it all. These trucks are some of easiest trucks to align. Post some alignment specs before and after...that's a great place to start. Anyway, I don't run any Thuren components, but I do advocate for their alignment specs.
