You either didn't have Death Wobble or something else solved the issue. There's no way drive shaft u-joints fixed death wobble...
Well... I had death wobble above 20mph when I hit bumps... then I replaced my u joints, cleaned and re-greased my driveshaft, and greased all of my front end fittings and replaced my pinion seal. and the wobble went away. Maybe it was something else I did?Originally Posted by lowrange2

Put a new stabilizer on (not a real solution I know) and a different set of control arms on last night. Will report back

Have you laid under it and did the steering back forth deal yet?
I'll give you 500 dollars for it right now.

If that doesn't do it it's gotta be ball joints. Originally Posted by lowrange2

Ball joints or castor. I'd measure the castor before I spent 200 bucks on ball joints.Originally Posted by Xj88

Jack the Jeep up and check for play on the front wheels.
What's wired is I've had 2 other jeeps with 3 inch lifts on stock arms and steering..no wobble. Could my shocks being maxed out and probably worn out affect the wobble?

it prolly doesnt have anything to do with it but just a idea, your other 2 jeeps had hp 30s and this one has a lowpinion

The control arms/stabilizer seemed to reduce it to just a shimmy in the wheel at around 60.
Still have some DW..not near as often but it happened on my way home from work. Still happens over 35 ONLY when I hit a bump.
