different death wobble problem
ok i know there are hundreds of death wobble threads and have read them and fixed my death wobble before but this one has stumped me. to start off i have a 2007 x with 2.5 teraflex lift with 35 in. ok so i fixed my last case of death wobble which was my front trac bar broke in half, very fun drive home. here recently in the cold weather i get death wobble, doesnt happen at all when its warm outside or if it is cold after about 5 miles of driving it wont do it again either. any help would be appreciated.

Did you check your tire pressure? Make sure you have an adequate amount of air in all of the tires. It might help if they were all the same pressure too, at least until you get the problem solved.

Make sure to tighten your front end up, track bar, tie rod ends, ball joints, lift mounting brackets everything to do with your steering. I just had to do it and I was surprised at what I found.

Be sure to check the pressure with the tires cold. The temperature can change the tire pressure. As your rolling (after about 5 miles) the tire warms up and the tire pressure increases.

does anybody think it could be the bushings in like say the tracbar or the control arms. that was my first thought due to it only happens when its cold outside. i mean its a really major difference driving it when its 630 in the morning than when its 3 in the afternoon.
