help???
i have 70k; just started to get the wobblies....also known as the death wobble. anyone out there know what i should be looking for? ball joints? tie rods? wheel bearings? is this something that can be cured or is this just the wear of driving on the highway @ 75mph, hitting bridge expansions, etc.? any help would be much appreciated...........thanks.
I know there are a couple threads on here that have been discussing a TSB on this:
BroncoHound posted this TSB in a thread named Upgraded Steering:

If you use the search function, you can find this thread. If I was a little better on the computer I could give you the hyperlink, but alas, I got no game...

thanks....
TSB? i am a total rook, so could you explain? i have a different damper, and stabilizer, but the tie rods, etc. seem like logical things. anything other info would be great, thanks again....
Tech Service Bulletin (or some derivation of that). There are also a few other parts they could end up replacing. Best you search for the thread, alot of good information in there. Obviously there have been quite a few trucks with the same problem you are having. This TSB supposed changes the most likely causes of Death Wobble.
