control arms
who makes adjustable control arms?

Why would you need them? You can get 5+* out of the OEM adjustment cams....
|
Superlift makes them. They are called the rockrunner arms.

Pauly, he's chasing DW.
goodeyesniper, how much caster are you running now? 5* is quite a bit, I ran 3.5* when I still had the 4 link. I run 2* now, no steering stabilizer and no DW. The again, I ditched the 4 link..... |

I don't think overdueing castor is the answer. It may mask the problem but its not the answer. If all your links and arms are sound I would take a hard look at your tires. Even if they are brand new and balanced perfectly if worth a shot. Good luck! |
Actually, caster usually IS the problem. The technical term for DW is "Caster Shimmy". Worn steering/suspension components and bad tires just magnify the symptoms.
More caster will usually cure it, but it gets to a point where it affects the steering and it's hard on the ball joints..... |

http://www.solidsteel.biz/ That much caster is hard on about everything in the front end including the drive lines. Good luck on figuring it out. :cool: |

Understood, it just seems going past 5* is that point. 5*+ is a ton of castor, more than twice as much as should be needed.

I fought with dw for several months, checking this, checking that, rechecking this and that,, then buddy of mine that is a dc mechanic went for a ride with me, without even knowing what I had done, he immediately said that it was a lack of castor. So I went to another fellow that I know, he is the alignment tech for another dc dealer here. He told me that everytime he does a wheel alignment on a dodge truck now (with a diesel) he automatically goes to the max castor that the stock arms will allow. which is in the 5 degree area. Since he has done mine, it has been good. I hit a bump that normally would have had me bouncing off the road into the ditch at about 100 MPH and no dw..,
