Two days ago i got a message stating that the air suspension could not be used because my payload was too heavy. The problem is, there was nothing in my truck except me so there wasn't a heavy payload. This morning my trucks front end was resting on the…

Looks like my 2013 ram 1500 express with 80,000 on it has bad left front bearings. It has a lot of movement when moving the tire top to bottom. And makes a noise when driving like something's rattling. There should be a recall on this since it's too soon for something like to happen. I'm very disappointed. I have owned nothing but dodge. And this ram which is made now by fiat. Never had any problems before until now.

There is a loud "click" noise inside of the front drivers side wheel. It occurs when the vehicle has the wheel completely turned to one direction which makes me believe it's steering or something inside the suspension. It was told to me at the dealership that it was a ball joint, which was replaced and it still happened again.
