just wondering because i know the 08+ and some 07's have a different steering arm set up.
i just want to know if anyone has had the death wobble problem yet.

None here @ 20,000 miles. Some of this wobble stuff is as simple as mud buildup on wheels, sloppy lifts, wrong after market wheels, bad tires, etc.

they did a safety recall on my 08. I would have to locate my paperwork on it, but they were supposed to have had a problem with something breaking and it was supposed to increase your turning radius. I think that recall came out about March or April of 09. I think that it only affected the 4x4's.

On the interstate the 2010 seems to track much truer than my 2008 without any front end vibration.

I'm pretty sure the beefed up front end has something to do with it.

I developed it after temporarily removing my popup camper. I had a rebalance done to no avail. Next was the '09 steering and it still felt like it was going to happen,so back to Discount for a balance recheck. All four tires were off by up to 3ozs. This time I hovered over the tire guy until the Hunter balancer read"OK". No problem snce. I have a 2.5" lift w/King 2.5 shocks,Carli highmount and stock ss,Defiant steering gear brace and Carli trackbar.

i had it ... was getting worse daily ... new steering was already on the truck ... replaced worn out drag link and all 4 ball joints and put good 10 ply tires on ... solid as a rock now.

It's the upgraded one. Much beefier components and toe-in remains stable when the suspension cycles.

Judging from your lists of add ons....you didn't "have" death wobble, you "CREATED" it.

I dont know about that ... I had 5000 on every thnig when it got so bad everything got replaced ... I have over that on the new stuff now and its tight as a arrow ... I think the ball joints were just at their wear limit.

Not to mention this truck in stock form already ate 2 passenger side upper joints ... truck just turned 33000 miles ...

Coming up on 26,000 miles, no wobble or anything resembling it. Still running 70-30% highway miles. I have Michelen tires, if anyone is interested.
