death wobble

The steering stabilizer on my truck hasn't done anything at all since I bought the truck. I just never bothered to remove it. I don't have a problem with death wobble, at all. All my steering components are tight. (except for the steering box, of course.) A fair few members here don't have a steering stabilizer at all, and they don't have issues with death wobble either. Generally, the biggest culprit is unbalanced tires, and loose track bar.

I had a bad case of death wobble with my truck when I first purchased it used with about 124,000 miles on it. I cured my death wobble issue by replacing my front wheel bearings, both U-joints behind the front wheels, track bar (upgraded to new style track bar by adding a custom bracket), steering gear box, upper and lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints and several tie rod ends.

I know you say this, but after I replaced the ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar, shocks and tires...I changed my stabilizer to a stock one (Had a rancho on there) and my death wobble went away. Do you know the cost difference between all the work I had done and what the steering stabilizer costs!
I know you run without one, but you also have different axles.

The death wobble is gone I replaced my frontend piece by piece until it was gone after replacing the steering gear box that did it but still did not notice much difference driving the truck. Before I replaced it the play in the steering was normal no up or down play in the pittman arm but I replaced it anyway and that stopped the wobble Just so everybody knows the frontend was not in bad shape I keep up on maintenance everything is done by professional technicians. And good luck anybody this happens to.
