what causes death wobble
I just put a 3.5" lift on my 99 xj full leaf pac and new coil springs adjustable track bar, with steering stabilizer shock and new sway bar end links. Do I need adjustable upper and lower control arms.

Death wobble help
Hello everyone,
I have been battling death wobble and I found that the 3/8" bolt in the track bar that attaches to the axle had a lot of movement. I contacted rough country and had them send me a new bushing. I just got it in the mail and the bushing sleeve is the same thing. It is not a straight cylinder, it is obtuse. When I put the bolt in it wiggles unbelievably. I don't know if this is normal but I figures it should be snug. Any suggestions?

Yep, I had the same thing. Feel like I am going to replace everything in the front end. I'll try to post a video. My track bar bracket (stock) is weak. So I have to reinforce it. Can't post a video. I took my ipad, laid it under the jeep started it and turned the steering wheel back and forth and found that. Check you ball joints to.

Yeah that to. Unfortunately I could put the lift on and the gentleman did not disclose that. I'm a fab guy so I'm taking the bracket off and putting some gusset in and building a cross bar for it. I can do it for almost nothin. So I ain't buying anything.
