The 2002-2008 has "Y-type" steering linkage and is famous for that death wobble. In 2009 they went to "t-type" linkage which is what we call crossover steering. A very popular swap is to put the 2009+ stuff on the 2002 - 2008 trucks. You swap drag link, tie rod, dampener, and pitman arm. My 2005 didn't have death wobble but literally every ball joint in the front suspension was loose when I got it so rather than replacing the y-type stuff I just got the newer t-type. There's a few Dodge dealers on eBay that sell the entire conversion package for very reasonable prices.The funny thing is that I did my conversion and then shortly after they released the tie rod replacement recall for both generations of trucks. I had to explain to the dealer why my truck had the newer stuff on it and they inspected it, determined that the new stuff was the recalled stuff, and they replaced the new stuff with more new stuff under the recall.
