2008 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME WAY OFF CENTER. I JUST FIGURED I HIT A POT HOLE AND NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I GOT HOME I REMOVED THE FRONT TIRES AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD SEPARATED AND ALMOST TOTALLY CAME APART. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ON MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED BOTH FRONT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLIES AND REPLACED THEM MY SELF.
