I have never come across this before. I just put a spacer lift on my MILs Jeep and now it has the dreaded Death wobble. I have had it aligned and the guy said he couldnt get the caster to come around. This is after I bought the adjuster bolts for it. The track bar also has new stronger bushings. The only thing I can think of now is to take the lift back off of it. can someone please help me with this.

The Alignment shows the caster at 4.5 degrees right now.
 
get your money back - take it to a reputable alignment shop. With cam bolts it should dial right in. Check other things, TRE's, wheel bearings, etc. Check angles of trac bar and drag link. Did you check the balance of the front tires? Try rotating the front tires to the back and vice versa and drive it again.
 
if you only put a 2" spacer lift on it you should be able to align it and the death wobble should go away. take it to a different shop. and its an 06 so its not like the ends and joints are worn to the point where they can align it. like studnuts said, take it to another shop for alignment, rotate and balance the tires and you should be good to go.
 
Thanks guys. I was thinking the same thing. I have already had 2 sets of tire on there and also rotated them, so I know it not that. I will take it to someone else in the morning. Hopefully I can get it taken care of. This Jeep is my mother in laws and She rearely drives it. So I know it still in great shape.

Thanks again. I will make sure I get that taken care of in the morning....
 
What type of jeep is it?

Check all your bolts... make sure everything is still tight that you took off.
 
I took it to a different place and they got it closer, but it is still not correct.
The tire pressure is 35 in all tires. The only thing I can think of now is to buy new adjustable LCAs. This is really beginning to be a PITA for me. : )


Thanks again for all youre help
 
i know its already been said and its a no brainer but are ALL the bolts that you loosened TIGHT
