Death Wobble AGAIN!!!
So we thought the DW was all fixed. We upgraded the trackbar to JKS plus added the Rancho Stabilizer (blown as of today) once DW occured after installing a 3 inch lift. I am going to take pics later to see if anybody can see what the issue is. We have been good for the past 2 months since we put the new trackbar and stabilizer on. Coming home from work today it happened again needless to say I was not prepared since the Jeep has been good. Even though the stabilizer is blown we don't think we should be getting DW something just is not right. And yes everything is torqued to the correct settings. I am running about 31 tires still did not upgrade to 33's. My husband has just about had it so not sure what the next step is but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go through Planmans DW fix thread, step by step. 9 times out of 10, you will find the cause in the first 7 steps, within ten minutes, and it will usually stand right out, trackbar or bushes, tie rod ends, drag link ends, ball joints. At 3" make sure you have caster corrected with some type of adjustable arms, then get a wheel alignment / balance / rotation, then if it is still not fixed, go through the rest of Planman's checklist. It is frustrating but usually very obvious, or a balance issue.

Not sure if this really shows anything or not. If you need a certain angle just let me know.

I'm just curious, is there a right way and a wrong way to mount the SS.I'm not saying that that is whats causing your issue, it's just that I have mine mounted with the body end if you will, to the axle and the telescoping end on the tie rod(the opposite of yours). Just wondering.

What should the caster setting be? Going to call the place that did the alignment and hope they still have our info in the computer.
