Super video Chris. Very clear and helpful. Also wanted to say that I had a "Death Wobble" issue on a 2007 2 door that was so violent it scared me to death. It would usually start after hitting a significant pothole in the road at speeds over 50mph and wouldn't quit until nearly stopped. My problem wound up being wallowed out frame bracket attachment points for the track bars. This all happened with stock tires and rims and less than 60k on the odometer. They were so bad that I had to weld washers to both sides of the brackets and used new grade eight bolts to allow a higher torque level. I hope you have solved your DW problem with the new ball joints. Buster and I loved the video! ❣
It is crazy how many things can contribute to the dreaded Death Wobble. Track bars are definitely on the list, ball joints, unbalanced tires, control arms, tie rods, and probably a few others. This video was recorded a while back and I found some time to finally get it posted. I also have another one prepped for upload which is basically the second half of this video. I figured it was best to split it up. Be on the look out for a few more over the next couple of days. Love you Dad!
Yeah. at 4:40 IN THE VIDEO. I had to use it to help get the tie rod off. also used it at the pitman arm as well. super helpful and did a pretty decent job protecting the rubber boot.
I’ve had death wobble on my wj it sucks!!! I have a 14 jku now and I did 1 ton steering up grade and the teraflex hd upper and lowers to prevent it from happening on my jk cuz fuck death wobble it blows
I started to notice it acting a little jittery in the steering wheel and should have done the change right then. I didn't realize how bad it could really get. Had a few white knuckle moments.. Thanks for watching and the comment!!
