2005 Dodge ram 1500 SLT with a hemi engine: back left axle/hub/tire has give of 1/4 inch/ knocking

Asked by Dking8615 Dec 20, 2016 at 02:21 PM about the 2005 Dodge RAM 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a Dodge ram 1500 SLT 4 x 4 with a hemi
engine. My back left tire I removed at a tire place.
They showed me that the hub when grabbed (the
thing with the lugs that the lug nuts go on) has give.
Slides in and out maybe 1/4".  Said I needed to
open up the housing and get it cleaned out. They
said someone needed to take a look inside.   Also,
when driving, I hear a knocking from the back of my
truck. Especially when I take my foot off the gas or
am driving a little slower.  So I'm not entirely sure
what's wrong.

It sounds like you have a problem with the differential and maybe wheel bearings. Get it fixed right away as that could strand you or be dangerous.

I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with the 4.7. The plugs for the 4.7 have a reach of 3/4". I believe my mechanic may have installed the plugs for the 5.7 hemi which are 1" in reach. My truck went into the shop perfectly fine and came out with the engine knocking. Is it possible that the 1/4" difference in length caused the pistons to strike the longer, incorrect plugs hence, that caused the knock? The shop admitted to me that the wrong plugs had been ordered. When asked if it was possible that they may have installed the incorrect ones, they told me that the thread size wasn't the same. Well, truth be told, it is the same size thread. Thanks for any input! 2 Answers
