Default Death Wobble

2007 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 L diesel. Get the death wobble when hitting pot holes or random bumps in the roadway. 74,000 miles on my truck. Any suggestions. Truck has a rough country coil spring leveling kit.

Check for loose parts. Tie rods, track bar, drag links, balljoints.

id have someone sit at the wheel and turn it back and forth while you get under the front of the truck and look for anything that might have some play,and check the steering gearbox shaft for play as well..

After you check all your front end parts, replace the steering stabilizer.

These sometimes help.
