Ram Drag link Recall

If the dealer finds that your drag link is alright, they will spot weld the nuts. My question is does this interfere with future front end alignments? It just doesn't seem like a good thing.

    Welding the nuts is an interim step until there are enough of a different design drag links available. I found the far side lock nut loose on mine and put a liberal amount of blue loc-tite on it before re-tighten it. So far it has not loosened again.
  • All it effects is centering of the steering wheel. There is a lot of discussion on this subject on the TDR.

    Bottom line be sure the two nuts are tight and don't worry about it until they have replacement parts.
