So this is what my death wobble looked like up close. I had been experiencing the wobble at speeds around 40-45MPH usually after I had been out in the mud / trail. After I filmed this, I aired my front tires up to 30PSI and the wobble cleared away. Probably going to go get all my tires balanced and rotated tomorrow.

Well this is my first post on here! We got many Houston people here? I'm out in Baytown, wouldn't mind hitting the trail with a few of ya!

now that you aired up your tires to 30 PSI your problem went away? If so, then it seems like you fixed your problem already. I always get my tires rotated and balanced every 3-4k along with my oil changes. With your tires at 30 PSI are they getting even wear still ?

Getting them balanced sounds like a good idea. Mud caked in the wheels can also throw off the balance and trigger DW, too.

I'm going to do the tire chalk test tomorrow and see where I'm at. I tried 30PSI because of other forum posters who had 37" tires. I do know that at 30PSI the wobble cleared up.

What's your suspension setup?
