Anyone here have experience sourcing out and eliminating the component that causes the front end wobble over bumps in the newer radius arm design?

I know its either trackbar or arm bushings, but I'd like to confirm which one it is if I can.

My dads 05 gets an unsure little wobble when going over mild bumps anywhere above 35mph, most notebly during turns.

Eventually this will come out as full on death wobble, and I definately want to get it straightened out for him before that.

I can build either, or both components, but would like a little feedback before I get started.

Thanks.

 

Go for it you might be the first. I have not read anybody correcting this except by adding the steering shocks to the front end. It is a strange problem because I have a 05 and have never had this happen.

 

Nah, I wont be the first. A freind of mine runs a custom fab shop here in town, he has done several superduty front ends. All for big lifts and what not, but builds the parts no less. His front ends are tight.

We see the same thing in the jeep world all the time. Track flex and bushings are #1 on those front ends, but arm bushings are known to do it as well.

Just thought I'd check here to see if its a really common fix yet.

Besides masking with shocks of course

 

Ditto 3000 FPS, knock on wood have not had this problem but then again my suspension is all stock.

 

Please keep us informed - this is interesting!

 

If you find a particular part or area of the front end let us know because there have been numerous discussions on this and I know there are people out there still looking for a good answer.
