death wobbel when hitting bumps over 45 mph
went to rousch creek over the week end but 3 day before i went from a 3 inch lift to a 6.5 new coil and new control arms with flex joints,track bar,drop pitman arm but no drop brakets.in the rear it has a 3 inch lift leaf with 2-3.5 adjustabel shackels .tires are 32x11.5 tire 15x10 rim.
after a great day of wheelen was done i found i bent the adjuting tie rod bar. so we fix the bar and headed home on the way home when i hit a bump know over 45 mph i get the death wobbel but if i lean hard into the bump it is lees likely to happen.
by the way there is no sye or brop brakets going to order them on friday
any info would help.

X2 on checking your steering componets. I had death wobble and it ended up being a bad tie rod end and a bad track bar, I replaced all the tie rod ends in the front and got a monster track bar from ironman fab. Did the driveway alignment and all is good. You have to check all of the front componets. Death wobble is a sign that something is loose or bad in your steering. check it out and let us know what you find.

tunr hard meaning if the bump or hole is coming up i turn right or left putting lode on eather side and it dose not happen as much.
i just had a look at the bushings the only one i see a bit worn are the uppers on the diff side.and some play in the stearing box and it is and I.M. track bar.

so i got it to my shop and found that the track bar bracket had a crack in it and was giving play and causing the front diff to wobbel side to side.wow wee.
so i welded it up and supported it and its sweet as now.

I have a stock steering stabilizer and had a little wobble with 30s I just put 31s on and it starts to wobble at 45. I am going to check all my steering in the morn. But do I need a more heavy duty steering stabilizer with 31s?
