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.

HA HA I have been there... Few too many :c: that night! Definitely another cause of death wobble too.

MY PROBLEM WAS THE TRACBAR BUSHING WERE SHOT( NAPA HAS BUSHING KIT30.00 MAP GAS OLD BUSHING OUT AND POUND OUT THE RACE AND GOOD TO GO ) AND ALSO UPPER BALL JOINT ON DRIVER SIDE PUT IN MOOG ADJUSTABLE NO PROBLEM SINCE

I'm rocking carlis ball joints and their trac bar and havent had any problems since i ditched my stocker

i just got all the ball joints replaced so i am thinkin it is the trac bar

mine did it too, replaced the 35" bfg's and it hasn't done it since. that was over 100,000 miles ago...

80% of the time the "death wobble" is caused by the cummins torque monster twisting the frame which leads to the rails flexing and wearing down. My friend had this happen to his truck and discovered this Dodge Steering Stabilizer and after it was put on brought back the steering stability. He has had it for nearly over a year now and not a single problem. So before you get into expensive fixes you may want to give one a try or shop around for a cheaper one that's out there. Anyway good luck guys !
