Body Mounts - Shake

My truck only has 34k miles on the body mounts but is from 2012… I was talking to someone and they suggested that even if my mounts aren’t too rusty/worn like I have seen in photos or videos, the rubber may have shrunk or dried out and could cause some movement.

I feel a wobble or shake when driving over bumps, frost heaves, expansion joints, etc and sometimes it’s as bad as my door panels shaking or making noise. The photos show the front mounts by the bumper. Would it be worth the cost and time to replace (I would do myself with the S&B mounts)

The body mounts look fine. What about shocks, ball joints, sway bar, etc.

Is this a death wobble situation? Are you willing to try a Bilstein steering stabilizer?

I don't think your body mounts are the culprit here

I have new Bilstein 4600 shocks (5k miles on them) - I will check the sway bar and steering stabilizer

The Bilstein steering stabilizer is on the list. I hope it's not death wobble

Check Ball joints, Steering linkage, front end bushings. 90% probability the problem is there.
