On interstate 8 in El Cajon, there's some uneven parts as the highway goes over bridges such as Mollison and 2nd street. You hit these evenly with the front end as the bridge transition is perpendicular to the direction of travel. With my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, last month we noticed that when we're on the highway doing 60+ mph and we hit transition, the front suspension is traveling more on the passenger side than the driver's side. So instead of an even bouncing up and down of the front end, the truck bounces more in a leaning to the right so that in the driver's seat, we are experiencing a side to side motion. The dealer aligned it and said the drag link bolt was loose on the left side. We have only 25k miles. I'll have to go back to the dealer, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can ask them to check.
Thanks
 
Are you sure its the front suspension and not the rear? The stock rear track bar is a pretty poor design and can have some very odd feeling in situations such as you are describing.

The only component that could really cause what you are feeling in the front would be a bad shock.
 
Took the truck into the tire shop and rotated the tires and now the issue seems to have gone away. It's almost time for new tires since they are wearing down. The former right front is worn on the outer edge due to the alignment issues we were having and the rears are getting close to the limit.
