I think there is a HUGE misconception of what death wobble actually is.

Some shaking or vibration while driving is not death wobble.

Real death wobble will shake the steering wheel out of your hand and sound and feel like the jeep is coming apart. Its not something you can keep driving with, it forces you to attempt to slow down until it goes away...sometimes even making you come to a complete stop before the vibration stops

 

This is Death Wobble...

 

i did my 3in lift on the ground in my brothers garage. havent got it aligned yet but no feathering or odd tire ware bt it wobbles here n there and i hv more play in steering wheel. hopefully new tires will work. or at least start there

 

Play in your steering is fairly simple to figure out... get under the front end and have someone turn the wheel back and forth. Whatever moves before your wheels start turning needs to be tightened or replaced. Are you sure you got your pitman arm tight? Has your power steering box broken free of it's moorings? All of these things are "loose components" and can cause Death Wobble. Also, check your drag link and track bar, they should be parallel but sometimes aren't after a lift... that's why they make a drop-pitman arm. Shouldn't be necessary with just a 3" lift, though.

 

death wobble adjust toe (keep mud cleaned off so it doesn't throw your tires around) tie rods, No free movement

 

that's A (nice to you death wobble) one I had in my pioneer made my wife scream and I had to stop the jeep or hit 20 to recover, which ever was faster !

 

Its not the death wobble my dads jeep had the death wobble mine doesnt shake that bad

 

Good that it isn't death wobble.

But the list of things I have listed in post #5 on this thread are still in play here, even if it is NOT death wobble.

 

Turns out it was just mud in the rim

 

thanks. rides alot better w new tires but they said i couldnt align it til i got the tracbar done. but when i got it home. the only play is in the drag link,tie rods,and stabilizer. bessy probly needs it all anyway!
