Death Wobble Information.
For Christmas the TJ got some presents. First, Black Rock Crawler wheels.
When I was driving home after getting them mounted I threw a wheel weight (I heard it bounce off the left inner-fender) and got a steering wheel shimmy at 45mph. A few days later I had the front left re-balanced.
But I still had a front end shake at 45mph.
With the holidays and all I haven't gotten back to my tire guy to have the other front re-checked.
But I did install a Currie 1" Body lift and 1" Motor Mount lift.
The next day after I added the lift I got my first Death Wobble. Going around a bend in the road at 45mph and hit a bump.
Since then I've had a pretty bad shake a few other times, all around 45mph and seemingly when I hit a bump or the brakes while the front end is shaking.
I may be able to swing a free (or cheap) alignment from my buddy but if I have to replace Track bar or control arms I'd rather have it done after that.
Other info: '05 TJ 2" Suspension lift (Coils and shocks) 1" BL & 1" MML
My question is: How likely is it that the out of balance wheel (my assumption) is causing the DW?
Would a 1" BL do anything to cause the DW?
Ride'on,
~CRASH!~
