it might. but only if that's the root cause of YOUR death wobble.

death wobble can occur from a number of causes, including worn control arm bushings, worn tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings to improper balanced and/or condition of tires...

but most common is the track bar, either axle bushing or frame mount.

leave off the steering stabilizer for a test run to see if the track bar was the actual culprit.
if everything feels fine with the new track bar, then you can install the steering stabilizer to give you some feel/feedback back into your steering.
