violant shaking steering

[kennybvegas]

I have a 2006 6.0 with a 4"lift.The steering wheel use to shake slightly when i hit a bump.A specialty shop suggested i install a 4"drop pitman arm and a drop track bar bracket, new drag link.(Bought from suspension connection). i did this and the very first day the truck shook so violantly at 70 mph after hitting a bump i thought it was going to explode.I only have a single steering stabilizer.any suggestions????

Ahhh the always feared "death wobble"

I had a work truck that did the same thing. It was a 94 F350 gasser. Hated it, it only did it at highway speeds.

Have no Idea hpw to correct it.

Check the track bar bolt at the drop bracket.... It has to be super tight, otherwise your bushing is prolly shot... My truck did the same thing after i did my lift... Also a dual steering stabilizer will help out a little

the tacking bar is the cause of the death wobble, need to replace the tracking bar, i have seen several 05 and up with that problem

So your saying an aftermarket track bar (bigger&stronger one) will solve all problems???

Hey Scuffy

I have replaced the ball joint and the bushing in my track bar and I still get the death wobble. Do you think the bar itself is bad? The truck is an '05 with a fabtech 6" lift and dual stabilizer.

well ive heard of people replacing just the bushing , ive not seen alot of luck with it , why i cant answer , they have that problem with factory , hieght being that yours is lifted of course that will emphasize on the problem, may look into an aftermarket one
