death wobble from haitis

[powerstrokin15]

I used to have a little death wobble at high speeds over bumps.. stock height, 20x10s with 35s. it was bearable. now I'm leveled 2.5" with 20x12s and 35s. it HORRIBLE. like anything above 30 it can happen and I almost have to stop unless I can steer out if it, towing is borderline impossible.. anyone have any idea? balljoints are fine, track bar relocation maybe? idk. I'm clueless on suspension. help me out.

sounds like a track bar issue but you might try inflating the tires to max pressure also to see if that helps

I had the exact same problem and my track bar bushing was shot. If you get under the truck and have someone turn the wheels back and forth I could see the slack in mine.

Check your track bar and steering linkage.

Check your caster . Needs to be around 4 to 5 degrees .

check your alignment

I'd say check Ur trac bar and go from there.

I just went through the exact same problem it was horrible. I replaced track bar bushing, steering stabilizer and had about 40% tread life. Finally decided it had to be the tires. Got new tires and it's perfectly normal all over again. I would assume broken belt in one or more of your tires. But even after I rotated it always felt like it was coming from the front ds but I could look back and see my entire bed shaking it was awful and embarrassing for people to ride with to say the least.

I would just check all of the above

:whs: we had a truck at work with a death wobble. changed the tires and it went away.

I get death wobble after a few hard launches at the track, nothing an alignment doesn't fix.....coil sprung trucks don't like being out of alignment lol

Glad you got it fixed 2500 later mine rides right again. Probably would have gotten another 12k out of those tires if the wobble hadn't have worn them so oddly
