Dodge Death Wobble?
My truck starts to wobble ridicously whenver i hit a bump at higher speeds. I hear its the track bar but not forsure. I took my truck to dodge dealer ship had the wheel joints and bearings replaced but did not fix it at all anybody know how to fix this?

I just got done putting outer tie rod ends on mine and a new bd track bar, haven't gotten to drive it yet, but will by tonight, i will let u know how it worked, i hope it works anyways.

One of the best fixes we've found is:
Adjustable Track Bar Kits BD’s double coated Adjustable Track Bar is built from rigid 1 3/8” DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) seamless heavy wall 0.313” tubing with formed and precision welded collars that have durable, heavy duty Poly bushings. With the OEM ball joint design, frequent maintenance is required to prevent side-to-side movement of the front axle which can cause wear, hammering, wandering and the dreaded “Death Wobble” - BD’s Adjustable Track Bar is the perfect solution for steering stability and is a great compliment to BD’s Steering Box Stabilizer (SBS). Plus, it is adjustable to accommodate up to 4” lifts! |
got my truck done and took it out for a test drive, drives a lot better, the bd track bar helps a lot, in a couple of months i think that i will get the steering box stabilizer

mine was the tie rod to pitman arm check your tie rods and my buddies ended up bening shock bushings beleive it or not i have 6'' lift 35 1250 20s drives like a caddi even over a 100 it drives perfect

Thank you everyone for the help

There was just someone on cummins forum that had the DW. He ended up replacing just about everything in the front end plus adding a trackbar before he bought new tires ( i think ) which cured it. My old mans 03 2500 hemi has the DW, he put the solid steel industries track bar on and didn't fix it. the steering box brace did though. I think that a lot of components can contribute to the DW though. my .02. Good luck

All right thanks, i am looking at getting a 4.5in lift so i may jus hold off a bit to see if thats takes is away

Mine had death wobble for a couple days after I smashed the steering stabilizer on a rock :w2: . Bought a new one and that cured it. Worth looking at that too.
