[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 3974262, member: 17977"] I put a Teraflex monster trackbar on my JK back in the day and it resolved my death wobble with my 35s. Death wobble starts with something small out of sync, it’s going to be hard to chase down exactly what it is that’s causing it, so as much as I dislike this type of advice, the best thing you can do is put on heavier duty parts to prevent it from getting to death wobble stage instead of “fixing” what’s causing it. An HD Trackbar, and stiff dual steering stabilizer are a great way to start. I saw you already replaced these parts, but if they weren’t replaced with a heavy duty replacement, it won’t do much good. The monster trackbar for example is almost twice the size of an oem or aftermarket trackbar. They aren’t actually the cause of the problem, they just don’t allow the wobble to be magnified with speed which doesn’t allow the death wobble to happen. I would be willing to bet the true cause is your tires/wheels. Even if they’re “balanced” they will still wobble a bit as they rotate, even more so unless all other components have been upgraded to offset the weight and size difference. There isn’t anything wrong with them per se, but they will still cause death wobble if you hit a pothole or get to a certain speed that throws off the balance and rhythm. Throw on an HD trackbar and I bet you’ll be rid of the issue. [/QUOTE]
