Just pulled the steering stabilizer, first bump I hit DEATH WOBBLE like whoaaaaa. Both front tires were chirping, wheel shaking, could barely even slow down the abs kicked in. Scary shit..

have you guys ever heard of the steering stabilizer over dampening? Im currently running the stock 32" sahara wheels on my JK whats using the OME stabilizer.. Im having the reverse of DW.. when I hit the bumps on the highway, instead of my steering wheel shaking, the front of the JK does..... weird.. Im going to pull the stabilizer tomorrow and see what happens...

Mike said it, caster makes all the difference. When my buddie got his lift on a Four door, he had stock tires with a 4' inch lift. Everytime he hit a bump it felt like a DW. If you plan to take that long road trip, I would think about getting some steelies and 33' inch tires just to make the truck run right.

Evan's shop is in Bayshore.
His number is 516-384-5349
Joe, did Evan solve the problem? He said you had +1/8" toe out. Might want to dial it in to 1/8" toe-in. Adjust the control arms to a castor closer to stock, maybe that'll help. He did say your ball joints were shot, which DEFINITELY causes wobble, ask me how I know...
I'm thinking about going back to stock flares Brendan, MIGHT be going a little higher now that I'm loaded down with parts and gear in the JK. At least in the rear anyways...might have to add another 1" puck on the rear to level it out. Might run stock flares on the rear and the cut ones up front. Want to trade rear flares, lol?

picked up the jeep today with the new SS in it and it drives like dream. It's so much better then it was, theres no shake when i hit bumps
and i actually feel like im driving when doing highway speeds instead of holding on for the ride.
