death wobble

[madeline]

was just on 1-75 going 70 mph. hit small dip in pavement and my truck started shaking so much thought i was gonna wreck. i have had 4 different solid axle for powerstrokes, some with leaf springs and some with coil springs and all of them have done this. is there any way to prevent it? had my 4 year old in truck

Check your trac bar. Either the bar is loose at the bracket by the frame or the ball joint on the axle is bad.

it pry wouldnt hurt to just upgrade to a better style a company (who's name escapes me atm) makes an adjustable trac bar with hiem joints on both ends that supposedly eliminates the wobble.

Ford Track Bar Miscellaneous - Ford 2000-04 F250/F350 4wd- 1" replacement track bar
This is an example. I put one on mine after putting a 2.5 leveling lift on the front.

I have an ICON adjustable one...not sure if that's teh company you were trying to think of or not.

truck has 6 inch superlift with single steering stab and is a dually. other trucks that did this were not lifted

What WOBBLE?

[CT Performance, Inc.]

Depending on what lift brand you have you may either need new bushings in your track bar if worn, new bar, castor shims if your castor is stock as its inadequate or 4 link arms so you can adjust your castor to 5*+..also will ride better. If we can help solve it please PM..have everything needed.
