Death Wobble

The Death Wobble has come to visit once again.
shocks are 100,000 + bilsteins.
All front end parts are tight. Allignment just done 3 degrees positive caster.
Violent Wobble.
Shop could not move Caster to max spec ( frozen bolts & cams)
What to do . Should I buy new trailing arms or is there a less expensive way out. Will new shocks do it?
Two shops confirm Track bar is tight . Thanks for your help, doug
96 / 12 valve 225000 miles 5 speed

New shocks all the way around would be a good start.


But what do I know? This is my first post...

Check those ball joints, my wobble came from one worn upper. Replacing your control arm bushings can be a monster if everything is frozen. I had to slip a cutoff wheel in between arm and bushing and cut them out, one is still in there.
