check your sway bar bushing as well. have someone turn the wheel back and forth and look at the bushings on your sway bar and trac bar. I had a 78 bronco that would pick the front end up doin 60 down the road and lay rubber with the front end because the bushings where shot in my sway bar. Then again i dont know much of dodges

Yes check over everything again, it happens more than one would like that new parts can go to **** real quick. The stabilizer wont cause death wobble, even if you took the stabilizer off, you SHOULD NOT get death wobble. Its only there to dampen the steering from jerks or anything like that. and Im almost certain the sway bar bushing wont cause it, I ran my truck without a sway bar for 7 months and had no problem what so ever.
So just check all the bushing and joints, lift the front axle up and try moving the wheel in and out, if it moves at all, either bad ball joints or unit bearing...

Not questioning your knowledge but when my bushings where shot on my sway bar the bar would vibrate then pop over the bushing causing it to bind up in ether which direction causing it to "crow hop" but also that was on a 78 bronco with 36"s. i replaced those and presto no more hop. Then again it was 3 years ago and it could of been my tie rod bushings not sure

Is usually starts out with a small amounts of play, but with a thousand pound engine thrashing about with the death wobble, it puts so much more strain on everything else.
Hopefully this problem is figured out soon!
