If that's all you did it will come back when you put the 33's on. Sorry but sounds to me like you need new CA bushings..

no, if his trackbar mount hole was wallowed out and the bolt was compromised, that would 100% be the cause of death wobble.

if he has stock rubber control arm bushings i doubt they would be the cause. trackbar is the cause 90% of the time.
