Bad Death wobble between 40-50mph
Since I put the leafs in the rear and the Rockkrawler 5.5" springs in front I have been getting terrible death wobble ever so often. I know I have issues and I'll list them, but which one do I do first to cure the death wobble? I'm also not able to afford too much right now, but need my jeep as a daily driver.
5.5" coils in front with tera short lowers and stock uppers...yeah i know, still planning this one. Probably bad ball joints? Last time I tried to get an alignment they wouldnt do it cuz they said they were bad. Not 100% sure though. I also havent worried about an alignment because my claws are so worn now and I'm waiting to get new/taller tires. I added the RE Heavy duty front tracbar/bracket but its in a bind because I cant move my axle forward until I get/build new arms. This is putting a bend in my front springs and I dont think I can lengthen the tera lowers without messing up my pinion angle. RE Heavy duty tie rod ends are probably worn, thanks for the part numbers Brad. The trac bar and drag link are at the same angle so I dont think thats the problem. An alignment would probably help with but with all the worn parts, its a waste of money to get one until I can replace and rebuild everything. Any ideas? Jim Klouzek 97 TJ Sport

If you haven't had your tires and rims balanced, I would toss that into the equation as well. Given worn ball joints and rod ends, out of balance rims and tires will show up pretty harsh.

I had the tires remounted onto some cheap 10" rims since I went to a 5 on 5.5" in the rear. They were balanced at that time.

Looks like you have it all covered (issues, that is) except for worn bushings and a loose track bar.
Take out a loan and fix it all or your new tires won't be new very long. Good Luck! Ron I like the way my Jeep is now..... I'd just like it, well, a little higher off the ground with more ground clearance!

Dont know if this matters, but its usually when I hit a bump around 40mph. On smooth roads its fine.
