Ok, i looked at the thread made in the sticky's, but i cant seem to find the answer for my death wobble. I put in a 1.75 in spacer to even out my lift in the front, so now it sits just above 5.5 inches. Every bump i hit i get it, and now sometimes at around 40 mph. I put in a new Tre for the pitman arm to the draglink, adjusted my trackbar, put in a new unit-bearing in the drivers side front, steering stablizer is in.

Could it be that since im still on short arms that this is happening?

[CSaddict]

yes. Caster is off.

i have adjustable uppers, but fixed lowers, if i got a set of adjustable lowers, would it be enough to stop this? I don't have the funds for long arms so this is really my only option besides removing the spacers.

[LittleD]

would having a bad alignment done have anything to do with this. i eyeballed it last summer to get it on the road, and since then i've done alot of work on the front. Would it be worth taking a closer look at that?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

definitely. my .02, get it aligned at a shop. as to the adjustable lowers, might help a bit but dunno.

[Burton58]

most likely the extra height through off the pinion angle in the front. perhaps push out the uppers a bit to compensate

[LittleD]

so it is probably the control arms? im trying to narrow this down. Tomorrow ill check the toe-in and toe-out and go from there. next weekend ill get into the control arms more

[kappy]

check caster that will most likely be that cause

[LittleD]

can you explain what caster is please. I don't know a thing about caster/camber

[kappy]

caster is the tilt of your knuckle forward or back forward is negative caster and back is positive more positive caster will make it track straighter but harder to turn typically you want about 3 to 5 degrees of positive caster

I like death wobble, it keeps me awake in tired drives home

[LittleD]

This might help diagnose it but when i hit a bump on the highway, i could feel the tires shimmy, and so i got on the gas more and it went away.

how old are your shocks? That cured it for me when i had it
