Would you use this?

Saturday on the way to breakfast I got my first case of death wobble. Just last week I put new front and rear driveshafts in, new rear upper and lower Currie control arms (already have front lowers and caster is set) and set the rear pinion angle. While under there I torqued everything to spec and even went through the whole front end. The only thing different on the front is I rotated all 5 tires. Upon inspection I can tell the frame side bolt had moved during inspection

But the bolt was at 125 ft pds. I have a 9/16" bolt that fits in the holes of the frame bracket and the track bar with less play than the 14mm does, but I thought if it was tight that shouldn't matter

So would anybody use this

Or just use the 9/16" bolt or the factory bolt and keep looking for the cause? Thanks

I would not use a drop bracket. If I have your story straight you were using the gold color aftermarket bolt. It looks like the shoulder where the threads stop caught on the inside of the bracket which is why you thought it was torqued. The hole in the bracket looks slightly wallered out but it is too blurry to tell for sure. I would try the factory bolt and make sure you check it regularly.

My bad you were using the factory bolt and are asking about using the 9/16 bolt since it is more snug. You could try it but still recheck it several times.

That a synergy brace? That might not let you get proper torque and caused the hole to get bigger. But factory bolts are all that's needed

Sorry the first pic is blurry, yes that is a brace not a drop bracket. I'll put it back together and torque it again, then get my tires balanced

The brace was used, hasn't been on my jeep, the gold bolt just fits better in the factory hole. But with it torqued the factory bolt moved during death wobble.

Check tire balance also made my sons dance ever where . Now not even running front stablizer

I will do that tomorrow, I've never rotated my tires and as soon as I did it death wobbled, thank you
