There is no adjustment for the timing on a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.2 liter . and the most likely cause on th eother problem is the abs speed sensor on the rear differential it is bolted to the top of the differential housing with a 10mm bolt remove it slowly in a twisting motion and put new differential grease on the o-ring slide it in and bolt it down and remeber to clear all codes or the sensor will run off of old paremeters

Normally manual 4X4 vehicles will jump and buck when turning. When you engage the transfer case to direct power to the front axle it locks the front differential. When driving on dry asphalt there is sufficient traction to cause lurching while turning . In snow ,mud or on wet asphalt there is enough slippage that you won't notice the lurching. In these vehicles the 4X4 is intended for use when driving conditions warrant it, and for normal driving conditions it should be driven in 2WD only.

how bout the tie rods?, could be an alignment, and if its a 4x4, might be a CV joint.

You forgot to state front or rear, take off the tire remove the grease cap with plyers remove cotter pin remove nut, remove washer, wiggle the hub and outer berring will fall out. The inner berring may be pressed into the back of the hub. If so you will have to knock it out with a hammer. Getting it back in could be difficult. It can also be hammered back in. ( the new berrings must be repacked with grease by you) This is a process whereas you force grease into the berring. The install the hub install the outer berring put on washer tighten nut with plyers then back off 1/8 turn. install pin install cap install tire. after 50 miles of driving lift car and wiggle tire with hands to feel for any play in the berring....because this is your first time!

On the rear differential there will either be a metal plug or a rubber plug. The metal plug can be removed with a 3/8-inch drive ratchet. the rubber plug can be removed with a small screwdriver. Faceing the axle from the rear will see the plug to the right side on the cover plate. Remember to also check the front differential as well. Hope this will help you.

Check the lube in the differential housing. Could also be the differential is blown and will need replacing. Check wheel bearings and joints.

I got the info on page from a dodge ram parts seller but I forgot the enet address sorry, any ways thanks a lot.
