Wobble
1999 Tj with a 2" Tera Flex lift. After a Moab trip terrible death wobble
started at about 45 MPH. Replaced the track bar. Could feel wobble trying to
start in steering wheel. After about 20 miles death wobble came back big time.
Swithched from 30" stock tires to offset 32" MTR's. Wobble stopped. However, I
can still feel the wobble trying to get started at 45 MPH. One of these days
the wobble will win again. Alignment has been checked. Four wheel shop says
they can't find any reason. Track bar is in good shape.
Any opinion on whether changing to Tera Flex swing arms will help by reducing
any looseness in suspension.
It is a puzzlement.

Re: Wobble
Did the alignment dude give you a printout? What is your total caster? If
you are near zero, or below zero, that is a problem. Otherwise, a steering
stabilizer could be in your future.

Re: Wobble
Caster angle shouldn't even be below 5.5 degrees, let alone zero. For a 2"
lift, Caster should actually be between 6 and 7 degrees of Caster angle.
Are you thinking toe-in?
