if its just the steering, it sounds like somehting else.....
alignment, tire out of balance, adjust trackbar.......
make sure everyhting is tightend down properly.

It's something else for sure, because when you get the death wobble you'll know it....you won't have to ask. It feels like your front end is getting thrown back and forth by some monster underneith...!!!
In my old willys and my CJ5 w/ Terra tires, I would get it if I got too much mud caked on the rims that it would throw them off balance real bad.

Ya, recheck everything, and double check the tire psi and balance.
Death wobble's characteristic is you have to stop or slow down big time before you crap your pants.

weebles wobble
thought that wobble (side to side), you can feel in your steering wheel, is an alignment issue. shake (up and down), that you feel in your seat, is an out of balance problem?
