put on 31s, and started to have a death wobble at 40-50 sometimes. after i put the 3 in coils in i cant go over 35mph now.... went over all my bolts again and found 2 loose bolts, tightened them.... still wobble.... then i found this

foudn something bad :'( can anyone help guide me in the right way to repair this? without swapping the axle. i have a welder and grinder and cut off wheel, but idk if i trust myself on something like this, since its kinda a big thing... idk if this is what is causing the wobble, but im sure it wouldnt hurt to fix this....




lower front track bar mount to the axle...

Today I put 17 gallons of gas in her! I thought I only had a 17 gallon tank. I must have been real empty! I ran out of gas right as I was driving into the gas station.

my death wobble was cause of a bent track bar, messed up the alignment. fix the track bar and align and you should be alright.
