Default Death Wobble Continues...

After having dealt with this for months and torquing every component to spec according to Project JK's listing and checking it every 2 weeks I'm at a loss. Does anyone think adjustable control arms would help the situation? I'm sitting on a TF 2.5" coil lift, stock rims tires, and wheel spacers.

Have you checked all the joints for wear/failure? Or checked the mounting brackets for failure? Not even close to an expert, but just something I've read about. As for lower control arms, I have the teraflex ones and they work great, but not sure if it would fix your problem.

Seriously good luck man, I hope you find a solution.
Cheers

It's definitely Death Wobble. The jeep will shake uncontrolable until until you come to a stop. the steering is flighty but i figured that was because i didn't have adjustbale control arms.

Im sure you already did this......but, did you check your track bar, and make sure everything was torqued properly?

Remove both your front and rear trackbars. Check the bushings for wear and check the trackbar mount holes on the axle bracket for wallowing.
