Hey guys new to the forum - my 98 finally caught the Death Wobble - coming home from the gunshop I took a country road bridge to fast - Snapped the end to the sway bar and guess what started up instantly? The death wobble was strong with this truck - looks like i have a good weekend project now - after i crawled under her everything was loose - Great times to be had for sure

Don't sound good. If one part is bad it will wear on another part quicker.

If you have the ability, redo all your front bushings, links, and ball joints.

everything got replaced from the pitman to the tie rod ends - ball joints didn't get it yet but those and wheel bearings will be next. No death wobble for now and the truck actually goes in a straight line to boot - need to adjust the gearbox a lil yet.
