death wobble

I am experiencing the death wobble when i hit bad parts of a two lane road. Does that mean the shocks are bad or the steering stabilizer shock is bad? My truck is lifted with 36" tires. I have dual shock setup. My shocks have a little play in them if you twist the cartridge on the passenger side. The drivers side is tight. Is it not a big deal. Is it time for new shocks and stabilizer all the way around if I have to get new right side? Does anybody recommend the dual steering stabilizer for my size tire? Thanks for any input

I would definately recommend a dual stabilizer with a 36 in tire, give us a call at Rough Country and with the FTE discount you will save 10% which will put you around 75$$.

The first thing to check is that all of your steering and suspension components are tight, anything that has some play in it can cause the death wobble. Then I would suggest to add the dual stabilizers, I had the death wobble bad when I lifted my truck and the dual stabilizers solved the problem.

Ball joints are a very common problem. Like Greg said. Check everything on the front end and add the dual stabilizer. Keep us posted.
