death wobble driving me nuts!!!!
ive had it since it was stock. everytime i hit a bump around a slight turn its there.... its sad im kinda getting used to it.... i put a 2" spacer on the front and it got worse. i think i finally got it narrowed down.
u-joints are good
tie rod ends are good
track bar bushing was bad so i replaced with a new adjustable track bar
steering stablizer was shot, i replaced it with a rusty's steering stabilizer
regreased EVERYTHING in the front end
wheels are tight
tires are balenced
steering box has no play and is tight
going to get an alignment this week
soo... did the shake the wheel test again and found that the bushings on the lower control arms have alot of play in them... so i guess its time to upgrade again. o yea and one of my front shocks is blown so i will be replacing them also
i really need a money tree

I was just going to suggest checking out the control arms. And that shock could also have alot to do with it. It's funny how death wobble is something most, if not all of us have to deal with at some time or another. And it never seems to be the right time financially... I'm still searching down my last little wobble issues myself, and I'm out of cash! So I'm feelin for ya brother!
