wobble (death) at 60kms after changing shocks
Wobble at 60kms after changing shocks…
changed brakes shocks and 2 callipers now there seems to be a (death) wobble with I hit 60kms but stops around 70.
The New ones are 2” or so shorter. Could this be the cause?

The length of the shock should have no bearing on a wobble. Is there a reason you installed shocks that were 2" shorter?? That is a drastic difference. If this was death wobble it would not even out with a speed change.....it pretty much brings things to a stop. Speed-range related wobbles often come back to tires being out of balance. That might seem odd if you didn't have a wobble before the new shocks. I'd first try swapping tires from front to back just to see if there are any changes. Steering related wobbles (TB, BJ, TR, DL, steering box) don't seem to occur in a small speed-related range.
