Never had to stop. So, I didn't consider it "Death Wobble". Normally I would have walked away, but it was in such good shape, engine ran great, it was just what we needed, the price was right and the wife was in love (Plus they threw in a new Kenwood CD player since the stock one didn't work). I figured whatever the problem was it could be fixed with a little time/money/elbow grease. Before we took it home the dealer put two new tires on. That helped a little, then they aligned it. Helped a little more. Then they changed the front rotors/pads and that seemed to help the most. However, right at 70MPH it would still shake. I changed shocked, which were needed, but didn't help the shake, changed the steering stabilizer and that helped a little, changed the front sway bar bushings/endlinks, that helped a little more. New tires a few months back (10,000+ on the other Kumhos) seemed to help a bit too... Finally last weekend I changed the rear sway bar bushings, shackle bushings and leaf springs/bushing (heavy duty stock height). Drove it over a couple hundred miles a few days later at 70+ MPH, smooth as could be. The old springs were shot and almost inverted they were sagging so bad... I plan on doing the tie rod ends, track bar and control arm bushings one of these days. But for now, seems to be running great, and looks better too.
