Death Wobble-

[pigfarmer]

Death Wobble- I have a 2013, 2500 Cummins 4x4. I have installed all new front end components: 2 new wheel bearing hubs, all new tie rods, both lower and upper ball joints, both sway bar link kits, new track bar, new red head steering box, brand new steering damper, all 4 brand new stock wheels and tires (275-70-18) , new pitman arm, and 2 new shocks. No body lift and no leveling kit. After all of this, I took the truck back to my chrysler dealership who then did the correct front end alignment and when I took it for my first test drive down Wisconsin roads, hit my first bridge deck at 77 mph, the death wobble didn't occur, a terrible 4 second shimy did occur. This is totally unacceptable. Thanks for anyone's help with this issue.

Did you have a problem before installing all that? If so, did you have a mechanic diagnose the problem or just start replacing items?

First thought, did you have tire balance checked again? Also, check that all lug nuts are seated properly.

Take it to a real agliment shop, have it set to thuren spec. Check all the cross member bolts.

Check the end bushings and bolts on the upper and lower control arms.

What brand of parts / where sourced? Counterfeit and defective new parts are a problem these days.

Yes…definitely evaluate the control arm bushings…
