Front track bar bushings are wore out after less than 45000 miles. The front end makes a noise and shakes when you turn the wheel. This happens both stopped and at any speed.

Vehicle was in for service and mechanic informed me of front tires are cupping significantly. They informed me this is not new for a new truck. Took the truck to dodge they told me it is perfectly normal if you don't rotate tires enough. This is very inconsistent. I did rotate tires but within 5000 mile problem. Represents itself and tires have to be rebalance to off set uneven wear.
