i didnt think id need an sye or tcase drop for my 3 inch lift but im having serious death wobble. im sorta new to this so does death wobble have any ill effects other than just the crazy sporadic siezures?

 

Death wobble has nothing to do with the rear. Something is off in the geometry of the front suspension or steering. Did you do an alignment after lifting it?

 

i didnt get an alignment although i heard i should have soon after the lift. is it crucial? id rather wait a couple months until after i get the new tires

 

Then you're gonna be wobbling for a couple months, and your tires are gonna wear funny which is going to make your death wobble worse. Get an alignment now. Buying new tires will not change your alignment, so no need to get one after tires.

 

Very crucial. Probably whats giving you the wobble.

so crucial tht it cant wait 2 months max? wat could happen other than really bad tire wear?

 

could loose control and runover girl on bike at worst

 

haha didnt kno it could get bad enuf to loose control. but thts wat cherokeeforums for! thanks guys. appreciate the words of wisdom

 

at worst worst....my dw aint that bad

 

Then you don't have DW.

 

well then i dont know what its called when the front end shakes violently until i slow down...

 

Death wobble

 

what?! yea for real, its scary stuff. Mine had it for a bit when I bought it, slapped a new stabilizer on it and it was good til I lifted. I ran without a swaybar for a bit then started getting crazy dw, duh lol.

a big help would be an adj track bar, I got mine for $55 new on ebay, and a good alignment. But dw is caused from worn suspension parts and really you should replace all tie rods, ball joins, hubs, bushings and what not.

 

Steering stabilizers are just a bandaid for dw and half the time doesn't even help it. Just my opinion tho. Trackbar and bushings alignment crap tires possibly? That's where id start
