Caught the Bug
Helped a friend swap his axles with Currie RJ60s F/R, we buttoned everything up and left the steering stabilizer off because we needed to modify the bracket. Test drove the jeep and got full fledged death wobble while braking and hitting a bump. Turned around to make sure everything was tight. We found that the adjustment sleeve wasn't tightening around ball joint end on his synergy draglink, and found that we didn't tighten the jam nut on his adjustable track bar. We fixed both of those issues and went for another test drive w/o the stablizer, got full fledged death wobble again. We installed the stabilizer and it definitely dampened the death wobble, to the point where the wobble only happens on the bump and shortly after, if you were to drive the jeep for the first time you would only think that the bump in the road was really bad. My friend doesn't remember if that was the way the jeep drove before the axle swap or not, so we kept looking which led us to find some slight play in the steering gear.
is the small amount of play in the steering box shown in the video enough to cause death wobble?
