Default Death Wobble Problem Finally Solved

For the last 6 months, I had a serious death wobble problem that came and went. Never experienced it at speeds over 40 miles an hour, just at speeds between 20 and 40 mph. Tried all the usuall fixes suggested on the forum, but finally decided to follow the suggestion of Desert Rat Truck Centers in Tempe AZ and have the TeraFlex HD Frame Brace & Drag Link Flip Kit installed. I trust the guys at Desert Rat. They've done all of my jeep modifications and have always been fair and honest, so I bit the bullet and had them do the install. I had this done a few months ago and the death wobble is gone! Did I say gone....yes gone! I'm still experiencing some bump steer, but in comparison to DW, it's no big deal.
Here's a link to the TeraFlex website;

Glad that did you good! I got DW after the dealer replaced my tie rod and drag link. I ended up going with a new Teraflex Trackbar and the Frame Brace / Drag Link Flip kit. Installed by Off Road Evolution and fixed mine as well.

Do you know how many shop hours they charged for labor for the install?
