bad death wobble
My truck has bad death wobble its a 95 f 250 4x4 but has a dana 60 straight axle off an 88 f 350 4x4 also the truck has alift kit on it 6 inches of lift.if I hit a bump or sunken man hole cover I get the death wobble. I hit a bunch of small pot holes in the road today driving home and got death wobble so bad I had to hit the brakes and stop the truck in the center of the road.the jerk kid in back of me in a little Honda flew around me and just about hit me as he gave me the finger and floored his car around me ugh. anyway this has been going on for a while now. I put the stock tires on all 4 tires been balanced and a front end alignment done and I still get death wobble so i put my 35" tires on still get the death wobble so its not the tires what is making it does this?. what should I check next this is driving me nuts it really is its really dangerous. I put a stabilizer on and it still did the death wobble did nothing to stop it at all. anyone?

Wow. I put a single stabilizer on my 94 with a dana 60 and it settled it right down. It did have a new tie rod though. I'd try that, just make sure the kit comes with the polyurethane bushing that keeps the rod from "rolling" on the ball joints. This rolling allows a lot of the play in the steering and is largely responsible for this death wobble effect.
