dreaded death wobble suggestions
GreenGrandV8:
yeah apparently its not totaly fixed.... i got the shit this morning right over 40 mph then i got it on my way home from fishin doin 30 when i drove over a storm drain.. its really starting to piss me off. the jeep is beating me damnit i cant win. so i ordered a drop pitman arm to lower my steering angle maybe that will help i donno
calvynandhobbs:
Normally, the rule on the drop pitman arm is that you don't need it unless you are over 4" of lift or you have installed a drop track bar mount. Same basic principle from what's been stated earlier. The track bar and drag link need to be on the same plane.
GreenGrandV8:
well im runnin about 5 inches of lift right now... but i dont have a trac bar drop bracket.. i just have rustys trac bar and frame mount... i really need to get this thing figured out.. its already held me from going to the last car show and the last trail ride. i want it fixed so i can go wheelin with all you guys. shes good in the woods just not on the road...
GreenGrandV8:
could it also maybe have to do with the 32x11.5-15 super swamper tsl sx bias ply tires i have on it???? they took a really lot of weight to balance and they suck on the road.?

I was just reading through your posts to make sure that tire balancing had been addressed and it doesn't look like it has. When I had my Cherokee I had developed some really bad death wobble right after a trail run. Everything in the suspension and steering looked fine so I decided to have my tires rebalanced and found that I had ripped 2 wheel weights off on the inside of the tire so I couldn't even see that they were missing. They rebalanced the tires and deathwobble was gone. Because of what we do we chunk up tires and slice them quite often and balancing may be needed quite often unless you're running balance beads or something like that.
