A loose track bar will definetly cause vibrations

A bad track bar, bad tie rod end, bad ball joint, bad wheel bearing, bent rim, misbalanced tires, etc... will all cause death wobble. A bad steering stabilizer will NOT cause it. If you put a steering stabilizer it may cover up the problem temporarily, but the problem is still there... It's best to not put a new steering stabilizer on until the problem causing the wobble is fixed. Honestly, you don't even need a stabilizer at all, if the rest of your parts are good.
