Yes the trac bar is the first place to start on death wobble my death wobble was caused by a trac bar also.

Happy to hear that you cured yours.

it was prob your tire balance if the trac bar made it worse and you rotated the tires and it got better

i had horrible deathwobble too... i rotated and balanced the tires, replaced the steering stabilizer and did a front end allignment and the death wobble went away... turns out the tow was off so bad the tires were fighting eachother going down the road and making it axle skip
