It's your money. Good luck.

For anyone else that runs across this thread: Death wobble and bad track bars don't go hand in hand. At a minimum, check out the ball joints, TRE's, treadwear pattern, and control arm bushings in addition to the track bar. While you're under there, check out the drag link, sway bar bushings, wheel bearings, u-joints and steering box/sector shaft. There's a lot of things that can cause death wobble. Too little caster, and even too much or too little toe can trigger it. Sometimes mild wear on more than one part, or a combination of a couple things outta whack can trigger it. I've found it very difficult to diagnose myself in some cases. I like to do my own work, but sometimes, it makes sense to have a pro check it out and give me recommendations. Not some idiot at a chain store, but a reputable and trusted shop. I've got a couple old timers that I trust. They've never let me down.

 

I gotta say while I like to do all my own work as well, death wobble is too serious to let go. If I can't find it within a week, its going to the shop. From the sounds of your worn tires your looking at ball joints, not bad shocks. Trac bar could be bad, but its not the only thing that causes it like Andy said.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

 

If he's the only one who has ever worked on this truck and he's askin about the Trac Bar I wuld have to assume that it has never been replaced. This makes it the stock bar from 1994. I'm thinkin it's a pretty good chance it's ready to be replaced.

 

I got the ThurenFab one on my 2nd Gen Gasser...I Love it, truck drives better than new now.

A good option for the money, IMO.

 

Well if his truck is a 94 and hes only 18 yrs old im sure someone other than him has worked on his truck before. Best to know whats wrong before you start throwing money at it only to discover it was something else.

 

well the funny thing is that everything on this truck is stock. i ordered a new track bar and i will pit it on wednsday night to get me to southern idaho and back (1200) miles while frank from franks auto (thanks dr. evel) is building my new track bar. the pickup will be getting all new tie-rod ends and ball joints next week all i have to do is get through my trip and i will be happy. thanks guys

hey guys what do you think of this idea Dodge Ramcharger Central - Cummins Diesel - Ram Truck - Power Wagon - Trail Duster - 4X4 - Plymouth - Chrysler - Mopar it sounds like an ok deal

 

Thats basically what Frank does except he doesnt use the nylon - it wears too fast.

 

he wants almost $300 bucks to do it so im going to call him to see if he will send it to me and i will do it myself

 

The Lukes Links do a good job but over priced for what your gettin.
