death wobbles is caused by a combination of loose parts but if you have anything in the fron end that is sloppy it needs replaced, also I would add a steering atabilizer to the gig........................I got mine from DSS

Well I have an aftermarket stabilizer on it but I noticed slop in the steering gear box and sway bay end links so I'm gonna replace the gear box and try new end links do you think that could be my problem
