Cab bushings!! There is a TSB(Technical Service Bulletin) for this.

Uh....probably has to deal withthe engine problems. Magnums take about
8000 mi. to really get broken in and get good mileage.

Could be leaf spring bushings or the little plastic things that go between
each spring.

>7 front tires wearing on outside.

Bad alignment. Get it aligned at dealership. Should be free.

>8 loose feeling in steering wheel.
