Death Wobble - continued

All you've accomplished here Pat is to successfully confuse yourself some more regarding the front end vibes and death wobble you have been battling for several years.

I've explained it several times so I will refrain from doing so again.

If and when you get tired of fighting this come and see me.

Sunday is good as I'll be working on a rig in ordgen.

Most commonly overlooked would be the ca bushings. You cant tell whats acceptable for movement until you've worked with them for a while.

did your lift come with a drop trac bar bracket? when i had my 4" rough country lift installed, it had the worst design for a drop bracket ive ever seen, and the bolt that held the bracket ( no matter what grade or how much lock tight i put on it ) would always work its way loose, and i would get a crazy death wobble every time i hit even a crack in the road. ive since welded the bracket and all is good. even better will be the new 5" fabtech long arm i have on order  just a thought anyways, i have a jk, not sure how similar it is to a tj in the steering department.

The interweb suggests installing a steer stabilizer to cure Death Wobble.

shovel???

I am guessing the big arse front bumper.

I am guessing the big arse front bumper.

Yeah, those things can be horrible for driveline vibes

shovel???

He has a rubi-grator so he is referring to his t-case skid plate

[Joel]

I haven't disconnected mine to see if it is shot or not. It can contribute, but I doubt would solve ti

Pat I was just messing with you.  Billy gets razzed every time death wobble and steering stabilizers are mentioned in the same sentence. 

Steering stabilizers don't contribute or cause death wobble, they simply compensate for worn parts and mask death wobble, until the stabilizers them selves wear out. And Death Wobble returns.

EASY answer.... HYDRO ASSIST... get a 1800 lbs ram and nothing will shake.


I figured that out after 3 sets of balljoints, 6 unit bearings and alsmot hitting the ditch 12 times.

DIdn't take too long

I'll trade ya for the XJ, 
rides fine up to about 110, then I get a few vibes from the rear drive line angle(soon to be fixed)

I am sure it would be a fair trade

hope you figure it out.

when I got my jeep, the right knuckle to tie rod was ovaled, all the ends were bad, with crappy ball joints and bearings, and she was still smooth on the highway in the front end, slower speeds sucked.

If you're in the market for new tires, my 35X12.5 Toyo MT's took less weight to balance properly than my 32X10.5" BFG's.

Toyo's aren't cheap....but sometimes you do indeed get what you pay for.

[BlackYJ]

Well thats good to hear you got some resolution.  Aren't Jeeps fun  

[Bnine]

You cant be serious. After everything I showed you, and told you, you are still questioning where death wobble comes from?

Something about a horse and water comes to mind.................


Good luck
