    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    Pure stock on rolling chassis, same BF Goodrich commercial TAs. Only shocks, steering damper, top bushings and springs on King pins replaced.

    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    Yes, off road designs. The bushings aren't worn, the springs have not set compared to the originals. Installing the ORD set cured the problem, for a few years. There isn't enough free length in the spring for a 1/4" spacer before the coils crash. I might try the old washers as they are 60...
