Death wobble? My '03 would only do it at high speed, usually i was in o.d. when it happened. Turned out my track bar bushing was worn out. $13 at NAPA fixed it right up

I thought it couldnt be death wobble since all my tie rods were good. Turns out the steering was tight, the entire axle was going left to right.

Also check your carrier for the drive shaft if the rubber is worn out it will bounce around. How many miles on it? This doesn't happen till well over 100k

x2 for the death wobble. Those 4 link front ends tend to chew up trac bar bushings. Off roading will only speed things up.

try putting it in 4wd drive and drive at 40-50. if it is worse then the tranny and rear drive shaft is pretty much eliminated.


also if you suspect tires swap the fronts to the back and see if it changes.
