Ok so I installed my 4.5 in RC lift SYE Tomwoods DS and 33x12.50's. Low and behold I of course got the death wobble bad, like so bad I hit a bump at 25 and the jeep has a seizure type stuff. So now I'm looking for advice on what to do. I almost think it might be because it calls for you to drill a new track bar hole and I'm sure it wasn't the straightest, but im planning on getting an adjustable track bar so I will go back to the original stock hole.I've looked up all the posts with the death wobble stuff but I was seein if anyone else had the problem. I need help this thing is almost undriveable I cant go more than like 5 miles. HELP Me!

Start with ball joints tie rod ends and track bar bushings. Then go from there.

And I'm not sayin replace all of these just check them out see if they are blown or not

if you still have them put your stock tires back on for now it might help. it worked on mine till i figured it out

Did u align or have the front end aligned? Also check the trackbar frame rail bolts to make sure they are torqued good and tight, also check the steering box spacer for damage and tightness, mostly I would say toe in is off but if other things are contributing one change might help but not completely cure it. Also when you drilled the trackbar hole on the axle mount did you measure the initial hole drill it then run the drill through the new hole, and the trackbar bushing to keep the holes lined up? I noticed my death wobble got worse after relocating the track bar, theb I did an at home alingnment and it disappeared completely.

Here is the list I would go by
1. Check for play on the axle end bushing on the trackbar
2. Check for play on the TRE on the body end of the trackbar
3.Have someone get in the jeep and turn the wheel back and forth while you lay under the front looking for slack in all the TRE including the one at the pitman arm.
4.If the lift kit came with a dropped pitman arm, and it was installed. I would look for any play where the shaft goes into the arm.
5.Then I would use on of the many different methods to check for loose ball joints.
6.Also while it is jacked up in the air, I would check for any play in the hub bearings.
7.Also while it is still up in the air I would check for any play in the axle and front driveshaft ujoints.
8.The one thing I would check last would be the steering stabilizer, even if its bad, but everything else is still in good condition, it should not cause death wobble
And if you still cant find any worn items let me know. Hope this helps Good luck
