Have you checked your balljoints? I just had to get mine done at 34,000KM on a 2012... If you are experiencing wobbles with a dual steering stabilizer setup you have some issues.

1) Do Planman's check list to find the issue. - Youtube planman.
I did this and only after the 3rd attempt did i find the passenger ball joints were toast. When i got them done the factory ones looked like spaghetti.

2) Come back and tell us what's loose.


Good luck!

It doesnt happen before 70km an hr. Only after any bump or anything. 70km and after it starts to shake. I thinking as people were saying the angles. Youu can see my front end in the pics there.

Whats the mileage on the truck?

Have the ball joints been done?

What tires are you running? - size and make

When were they last balanced?

What is your Caster angle? - Probably terrible due to such a lift on stock arms. This will not cause DW but will cause crappy steering and will also work with the bump instead of try to settle it.

When was the last time your wheels were balanced. Are the holes for the bolts on the track bar wallowed out at all? Are the bolts the right size for the hole?

That kinda narrows it down, I would think. No bumpsteer before the drop pitman/bracket, then it starts immediately after adding them.

I'm not really a fan of the EVO flip, since it just has you buying another weak 'stock' draglink instead of a beefier aftermarket, but at least the price was low. Should be a noticeable improvement over the dropped pitman setup.

You also mentioned that the caster was not as low as we would think. At 6+", I would think it is rather low. What are the numbers? (inquiring minds want to know... )

And the angles don't look bad at all. Since RC sells the bracket and and drop pitman together, it appears that they did the research to keep the bars parallel. (axle side bracket vs frame side causing the bumpsteer?)

RC doing research. That's funny.
