Track bar ends??

have you tried this before?

I had them on my old truck and loved them.

My 01 did the samething. It is called the dodge death wobble. I replaced the track bar and one of the steering components that had play in it. No problem after that. Have a buddy turn the steering side to side and watch for movement in any of the joints.

 

Specfically the top of the trac bar. Its a ball joint located under the driver side of the frame behind the wheel. There should be no play when you turn the wheel slightly side to side. Whatch it while someone wiggles the steering wheel. I'm willing to bet you'll see the cup move up and down a whole lot on that ball. I'd suggest getting the 03 tracbar conversion. I also went with duel steering stablizers and havnt had any wobble ever since.

 

buy lukes link and save money, the Lukes link joints are rebuildable for like $8 bucks. If you replace just the OEM trac bar with another OEM trac bar it cost like $175 bucks with lukes link just by a rebuild kit and be done with it. if your running bigger tires then the trac bar will wear out faster then normal.

 

Thanks guys tried most of the things u guys told me to look after and didnt see anything loose or with movement. I've had enough of the shaking and taking my truck to the shop to see what it is. I'll keep u guys posted thanks for every thing.

What tires are you running. I had the same problem and had basically everything in the front end replaced. then decided to put my stock tires back on (had bfg all-terrain 315) and the death wobble was gone, now i have a set of 305 toyos and still no death wobble.

 

i have some pos super sport special ordered 235/85/16 trying to get new toyo's on my truck hurd they were pretty good. I'm going to have my truck alligned tomorrow morning and see if maybe its my tires causeing the death wobble.

Thanks,Tony

 

i have a luke's like on a track bar end but unfortunately the last owner put a MOOG track bar on and i cant use my 2nd luke's link there and im developing play in my track bar...i can move it slightly up and down...anyone wanna toss their old stock track bar?

 

I have a stock 95 and 01 trackbar that you can have for shipping.

 

Tell us more about the link, where do you get them are they just the ends or the whole track bar.
thanks

mine did the same thing. the pitman arm was shot. put on a new one and solved the problem.

 

Get the tires off the ground and move the tire in and out you must have a worn joint somewhere.

 

Finally got rid of the death wobble guys seems the problem was my trackbar would slightly move side to side causing the wobble. what a relief that was even though thanks alot for every thing guys.

Check the link out it tells you all about them

http://www.lukeslink.com/trackbar.html

it's all about rebuilding you tracbar for $16.00 bucks instead of $175.00 for a whole tracbar.


BTW it works for ALL the front end joints!
