MAJOR death wobble

im with the ones saying the lower track bar bracket ovaled. it wouldnt start when lifted, and as it ovals, it starts to wobble, then it ovals it out that much faster due to said wobbling, before you know it, it is nearly undrivable

i am fighting that right now.....
 
ah you beat me to it. if you have been running your sway bar disconnected when you are off road it can cause there to be a lot of stress put on the track bar and end up wallowing out the bracket where the track bar connects to the axle. you may want to check an see how tight the bolts are. mine used to get loose and cause it to have death wobble. if the bracket is ovaled out you will need to have it welded up and have the hole redrilled

Even if the air is to high I don't imagine it would cause this issue only when you hit a bump. If I were you I'd check those track-bar bushings again. I'd be willing to be thats the problem. Make sure the bolts are tight too and there is no slop in the holes.

Yep, once that bottom hole wallows out, no amount of tightening is going to stop it from moving. Been there.....

Actually, you were beaten to this idea about 5 days ago. LOL

But yeah, I think there's a bunch of us waiting to see how this turns out...
 
I have fought this issue many times. Try barrowing someones tires and rims. preferably stock size. See if that takes care of the issue. if it does then your tires are bad. I didn't see anything about an alignment. The Toe on the should be 0-1/8" towed in. You can do it your self. There are write ups out there about it but you basically measure from the inside of the tires front and back. Not sure if any of that will help but I sure hope so.
 
He checked the track bar and it was a little loose. after tighten it and driving for several days it has yet to do it again. so i would say that the loose track bar was the problem. thanks for yalls help
