Maybe its just me, but from the pic it looks like the camber is way off.

Unless it's the angle, that drivers wheel looks way farther off than the passenger. Just saying might want to look into some of those suspension components possibly contributing to his death wobble.

Ewww not death wobble!!

Bumper looks sick though haha

Edit- What did it run you?


Thanks
$575 shipped, which isnt bad when you consider its $700+ if you order it from Poison Spyder (the manufacturer).

or a u joint



also, remember how much sprung weight you are adding and account for that when your doing springs....


also, it dont look half bad, but idk it just leaves something to be desired to me...


also, change those fenders out, they look like lego blocks


Fenders are on the list but Im more concerned with suspension, wheels, and tires ATM. Also once I get the fog lights mounted in the bumper and a winch on top it should look a bit more finished out.

Could also be from some beat tires. Judging from the pictures, they look like the standard garbage tire dealer's swap around all the time.

Is it all the time? or at speed?

Quick way to check is just rotate the wheels  x pattern style. If it still shakes, it's what FMX said.


Its only at 60mph + when I hit a bump just right. Ive watched several videos on it and a lot of the issues stem from the track bar bolts loosening up and tearing up the bushings. It should be easy to diagnose whenever I can find the time and space to actually look. The weather is horrible right now plus Im at my apartment.

As far as the driver side tire, I think its just the angle the pic was taken at.



I did find out I can get it powder coated at work and I only have to pay for 40% of the powder cost so next week I should be getting it finished.

I only had death wobble in one vehicle, and I'm sure it's not your issue.

My 01 Isuzu Rodeo. Loved that little thing, so much power from that factory 6. Anyways I started Getting death wobble, started slow, and after about 3 days it was completely not drivable. Crawled under to look, was obvious within seconds. The frame had rotted so badly, that the axle mounts had rusted completely free, and the entire rear axle had twisted. Checked online and there were TONS of complaints of this same frame rot issues on these rodeos. Sadly, I'll never own another. Surprisingly I managed to Get 1500 out of it, even after I told the Guy what the problem was.

Car only had like 95k miles on it.

Guaranteed that's whats causing his death wobble, the oem steering damper/stabilizer on these things are junk. Replace it with better after market ones.

Sadly, you're wrong. A steering stabilizer is just a dampener that will help to cover up any suspension issues. A proper suspension will function perfectly fine without a steering stabilizer at all.
However, I probably will replace mine with a Teraflex one once I diagnose the root cause.
