Leveling kit causing death wobble?
Guys save your money on tires/struts/springs/CV joints cause the dealers dont know @%&$ go to www.lukeslink.com Polyurethane bushings don't break down like the rubber ones from factory. i had death wobble worse than anybody the dealershipe swapped my bushings and i was good for 20,000 Kilometers not Miles. It started shaking after hitting a bump againg just about enough to shake the truck sideways on the highway i took it back to the dealership and they wanna replace the entire front end $3,900 cause i'm at 119,000 no warranty its on my dime. i can't repeat what i said to the guy but needless to say i'm never going back there. these new bushings should be good for the lifetime of your truck and they only cost like $40 and takes like an hour and a half so check them out and tell all your friends about www.lukeslink.com and for more dodge goodies check out www.solidsteel.biz DON'T GIVE DODGE ANY MORE MONEY FOR BUILDING CRAP!!!!!!!
I'm about to install a ProComp leveling kit in an '07 2500 4x4, but when I went to 4 wheelparts looking at tires, they told me I shouldn't use a leveling kit because it can cause a death wobble (severe shaking at highway speeds). This is the first I've heard of this - does anyone have any experience with this or is this bogus?
Shaking occurs when a portion of the vehicle has a mechanical resonance frequency which receives energy from another connected source. This could be a multiple of the shake frequency, not just the identical wave frequency. e.g. The front end resonant frequency
might be a multiple of the Tire rotation frequency or the engine / drive frequency. The only solution is to change the shaking section (Usually the front-end suspension) frequency.
This may involve significant modifications. The dampner appears to be a major factor. Use a new dampner with different characteristics which will dampen instead of amplifying the shake / vibration frequency of the front-end assembly.
