death wobble feels like your tires are going in different directions of each other, right? well I got that now since I just installed my coil spacers??? I was speedin around and hit some holes in the road and it was jumpin like a bastard.

coil spacers = change in ride hight = allignment needed to cure deathwobble

what alignment? trackbar or steering? or does that count for both? and I've aligned it twice to account for settling since I had the lift but never had the wobble in between any of those periods. well once. ever. it was weird

steering allignment
the 2 biggest causes for death wobble in my experience is allignment after lift, or a trackbar looseness issue

well for some reason the trackbar does shift at the axle side, and you can spin the bolt in the mount at the frame side, but it will not get any tighter. Lock washer could maybe provide relief at the frame side? I've replaced the axle-side bushing once already.

if the trackbar has play in the bolt on the axle end, that can absolutely be the issue. (like if the bolt is too small, even by very very small amounts)
otherwise i would try a steering allignment, that solves it a lot of the time like i said earlier

that happened to me. it was a combination of both but the wobbliness of the trac bar was b/c the hole in the axel end ovaled out. needed to drill it out get a larger bolt and a larger bushing for the trac bar. PITA
