dreaded death wobble suggestions

<< < (3/8) > >>

Lower control arm bushings can cause it, but they are usually not the first suspects. When you put in your new track bar did you check the axle mount? I have DW right now because the bolt hole on the axle side of the track bar is wallowed out and allowing almost 1/2" of play in the track bar. How old are you wheel bearings and ball joints. Have you lifted a tire and tested for play there? Wheel bearing units and ball joints always lead to death wobble if they are bad.

yeah i tried to shake the wheels and there tight. and the trac bar mount on the axle is good too.. but i ordered some fixed lowers for the front and im gonna see if that helps

kirksjeep:
100% agree that the problem is not the steering stabilizer.  I solved the death woble in my YJ with a tie rod flip kit from Goferit.  My steering geomety is pretty close to stock with the flip kit and a drop pitman arm.  Good luck.

check your trac bar bushing... my zj jad wicked deathwobble cuz i blew out the front trac bar bushing.. the alignment was spot on and everything else was perfect, just give her a lil nudge from the driver or passenger side and see if she shakes a little

GreenGrandV8:
finaly fixxed the death wobble i believe.. i had it up to almost 50 today and no death wobble.. i changed like all the steering parts in the front and it did nothing. turns out it was my sway bar bushungs and the CHEAP disconnects i had on the front. changed the bushings and got JKS disco's and she rides pretty nice now. im so happy, now i can take her places faster than 25MPH
