Steering stabilizers do not cause death wobble and they do not fix death wobble. They are a band-aid for the real problem and nothing more.

death wobble has very little to do with being stock or lifted... stock vehicles get it too, lifting it just makes WORN parts more apparent.

If you're getting wobble, something is warn or your tires are out of balance. Check your track bar, all your TRE's, ball joints, wheel bearings, tire balance.

Steering stabilizer does NOT fix death wobble, it just covers it up temporarily until the worn parts get infinitely worse.
