Default Recently Aquired Death Wobble have a question.

I recently installed a 4.5" lift kit on my cherokee. I also put in new hubs. New tracbar, control arms, pitman arm, etc before the lift kit I had no wobble whatsoever my question is im running unbalanced 33s and I haven't had an alignment yet could the combination cause death wobble? Just curious before I go spend $100 on an alignment just for the wobble to knock it back outa wack, Thanks

I bet its your tires. you can align it at home and get pretty damn close if your're patient.

Describe "recently" . Have you gone back through and double check bolts ? Especially track bar.

Check your steering as well. The increased hight may have torn a boot or something strange.
