bobweiser Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Driving a over to the gas station, hit 30/35mph, truck started shaking like a tire was coming off. Retightened all lug nuts and drive home fine. Tried again today, same issue, kinda same spot. Slowed down and it was fine. Hit 45 on the way home and nothing? I have new Ujoints in the front, tires have been balanced, ball joints/tie rods seem tight, new coil spring spacers. I do have a bad shock on the passenger front, would this do it? From what I have read, death wobble is at high speeds. This truck is driving me nuts. Help.
bobweiser Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 May have found the issue. My track bar is bad. I will post back if this fixes it.
mvusse Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I was about to mention track bar or alignment. I have had DW happen at anything over 45 due to a bad track bar and bracket, but after lifting the truck I've had it happen as low as 35 mph due to about 2" toe in.
bobweiser Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 I changed the track bar and seems to taken care of the issue. Time will tell as I drive it more. I still need to change shocks and I know my rear tires have a chop to them but so far no more death wobble.
