Death Wobblies. Please help!
Everything's tight. Replaced the ball joints yesterday, nothing's loose, just slid sideways on the 10 fwy going 75. Not sure what to do, any ideas? I really need help. Thanks guys.

Steering box it good. Checked it. Nothing is sloppy or loose. Jack it up and check it, nothing wrong. Can't figure it out. And now I'm not sure how I'm going to get to work.

Mine was doing the same what I did was tighten the hell out of the track bar and grease the whole front end and it went away

There are a lot of possibilities but the track bar and control arms are high on the suspect list. Even the SMALLEST amount of play in the track bar can cause death wobble. I just had a tiny bit of play in mine; a new track bar completely resolved the death wobble.
