check castor and camber and ball joints.  Also check for loose tie rods and ball joints

[Ranger Dave]

bad shocks,  bad tires. or  out of  balance,  thers a stablizer shock that goes on you  steering arms,   .  bad  tierod  ends.   call me mike  ill try to help ya.  989-666-4808

all of the above.... but I have just to remedied this problem on my doge, It was the track bar....cost about 100 bucks for the bar. and it was on a dana 44.

Do you still have the car steering? or something else. My nissan it was a bad idler arm

[rangerwheelinmike]

The bushings are new and I never put a steering stablazer on it

Sounds like it just drives like an old ford. My 78 has some nasty death wobble... my steering gear/ steering shaft have a lotta play in them.

Like ranger dave said tires. I know mud tires like lots of weight. Ive even had some 33s that wobbled.

I will vote on trackbar

track bar is tight could the angle be wrong? it olny does it on pavment to!

[xjs3667]

are sure its tight, I thought mine was tight too..... have someone shake the steering wheel back and forth and look and all the ball joints and bushings and tie rods and track bar

[frdzila]

is your trac bar and drag link on the same angle? or very close? is there something that triggers it like a or is it just speed? if it was speed i would check the tires first then i assume you still have rubber bushings in the trac bar? if you do throw it in the garbage and make a track bar with heims. i have replace every steering component bushing nut an bolt in every ford ive owned and heims in the trac bar and fresh rubber or tires worn well fixes it everytime.

[rangerwheelinmike]

track bar and drag link are the same angle ill have to have someone turn it and check it out

[Strapless]

I would run a stabilizer regardless. i only run duals.

are you sure that alignment is right?  toed out causes the death wobble too?
