I can't speak from experience on the knuckle swap, but when I went to a larger tire on my old '95, my death wobble stopped.

I really think tires come into play with DW - as my buddy did the same thing, but he went to a smaller tire.

Smile Death wobbled fixed!

I have been experiencing the dreaded death wobble recently. I took my dodge into Jack's Alignment shop and had them check it out. Ball joints were worn a little and the track bar bushings were shot. New ball joints,New track bar bushings and an alignment and she is as good as new. Any worn suspension component or combination of worn parts can cause death wobble. Before looking for an aftermarket fix, make sure you have your suspension looked at by a reputable front end specialist.

Worthwhile to get rid of the unit bearings and get real lockouts, but sadly, no fix for death wobble......
