SUMMARY: WHEN I DRIVE MY 96 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 PICKUP ON HIGHWAY AT MILES BETWEEN 60 AND 70 IT STARTS SHAKING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL, I SOMETIMES HAVE TO STOP OR SPEED UP TO OVER 75 MILES FOR IT TO DECREASE AS I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO WHEN I CROSS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IT DOES THE SAME THING BUT THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE STABILIZER BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $400.00 DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM.
