Death wobble

[cravenbronco]

It just started today. Was going slower speeds like 10 20 mph when the whole Bronco started to shake really bad to the point of almost having to come to a full stop be for it would quit. Would king pins cause this problem or should I be looking elsewhere?

Or ball joints (if d44) or trackbar bushings.

It is on the half cab

I would check the trackbar first.

I'd start be replacing all the front end bushings including the c bushings. An afternoon of work and not too expensive!

x3 or whatever on the track bar bushings. If that doesn't do it, I'd go through the rest of the bushings in the front end.

X4, this solved the problem on mine.

Hey Matt because your swapping in the D44 I wouldn't get to busy unless it's just the track rod bushings.

That's kind of what I figured I'm sure it's going to make a big difference switching it out. As long as it don't get the dredded wobble anymore

Have someone steer the wheel back and forth from say 10 o'clock to 2 while you start looking for play from track-bar all the way to the steering box.

Thanks again for the input it sure helps out.
My findings:
I had someone move the steering wheel and found that both of my tie rod ends were way loose once I tightened them up the cotter pins didn't even touch the castle nut so I added some washers and now it's good to go. I also had boots ripped so those got replaced. Greased and once again it's a happy truck.
