Went and bought 2 new front tires still the same thing. It occurs when I hit about 35mph, not when brakes applied so it is not warped rotors. Thanks in advance John Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 17, 2012, 7:32 AM Post #2 of 5 (1988 views) Re: death wobble Sign In Have the truck inspected carefully. That starts with a small out of balance and something loose in the linkage will cause it to go out of control. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. johnt User Aug 17, 2012, 7:38 AM Post #3 of 5 (1983 views) Re: death wobble Sign In Truck is in the shop now, he changed the kingpins, which did have a little play in them but this has not solved the problem. Going broke trying to figure this out.

Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 17, 2012, 8:32 AM Post #5 of 5 (1965 views) Re: death wobble Sign In Just some thoughts/ideas for an issue like this exactly after brake work: I plain don't know the design of the brakes but it catches my attention that it is right after this work AND begins at 35 MPH which to me is a bit slow for imbalance unless WILDLY wrong to cause this. What I have run across is rotors or drums that push on and over a hub/bearing can have dirt, corrosion particles either fall to bottom caught inside or maybe if not indexed back to exact position if machined and put back on may not set true to the hub again. Has happened just rotating tires alone not touching anything else and wheel lugs torqued up properly but is so off of true it's visibly obvious just spinning wheel. Not all that rare to me and can be seen with just spinning that wheel by hand without any tools to measure run-out right at the rim of wheel while in place. A maybe and if that for ones that did that to me cleaning those surfaces up - gasket scrapers, wire brush or whatever it takes solved it, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
