What is death wobbles none of my vehicles have ever had sway bars I've done over 100 in a truck whose tie rod that seemed to only have the top half of the ball and 70 in a truck with a ball joint split in two and I've never had anything happen that I would call death wobbles

It's weird some trucks are more sensitive to it. Mine is due to my lift and tires. Jeeps are known for being the worse. And it's called death wobble because the truck violently steering left and right. So bad to were its hard to stop the truck and or steer the truck

Oh and update. I did finally find something I noticed the track bar mouts slightly move back and forth from the axle. So I took it off and she had a quarter of a inch gap. So lets see what happens

Yyyaaa thank god it fixed it thanks for the input. It's my tow rig and daily driver so I needed her back on the road. And I'll put some stabilizers on to help buffer that wobble if it start up again down the road

Hah wellll it looked only a little loose while it was bolted up. But then when I took it out I found it moving. It was actually still in good shape. It was my oil leak dripping on it and made the rubber get soft. So I got some Moog polyurethane
