There are two different Bilsteins 5100 front shocks.
Some will tell you the standard length shocks work fine.... but I noticed a big difference when I went to the ones designed for 2-3" extra travel.
Standard length - BE 52549 - Yellow Shock
2" Longer Travel - BE 56681H5 - Nickle Plated
These #'s are from 2005, when I bgt them (before going to longer springs). Hopefully they are still correct.

"Rebadged"...... with what?
If you don't have a 'Streering Stabilizer', I strongly suggest one! HERE

death wobble is a side effect of bad ball joints tie rod ends and negative caster.
buy some longer arms.
