The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

Likely story...

 

it's true!!!

 

What's your excuse

 

I already told you. It's my brother-in-laws birthday. He turns 30 and they are throwing him a surprise party.

 

Oh and BTW, my wife's heep is now doing the death wobble

Has anyone had any experience with this? It didn't start until after the last oil change.

 

Sell it

 

What juan said.

 

x3 but I think ruffstuff specialties sells an anti death wobble kit

@Dan Fredrickson ???

 

I do have something to ease the wander-lust of common Heep Y-Link steering, called 'The Cure' (both can be found here: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/TRESTEER.html)

The black one is designed to fit stock Heep TREs, and the white one is for 1 Ton TREs if it has been upgraded.





Now these only work with Y-Link style steering (found on most jeeps except some of the Grands, and JK Wranglers), where the tie-rod and drag link connect to one-another in some fashion.

This piece gets inserted to replace the dust boot of the drag link/tie rod connection point. this alleviates a common 'dead spot' in the steering wheel. However Death wobble is generally a symptom of a worn out component, knuckle ball joints, steering ball-joints, wheel bearings and such. If it didn't do it before, and does now, something is wearing out.

 

Installed my CB, and all I get is static on all channels. Idk what I did wrong. I grounded the antenna and everything...I feel stupid.

 

Got pics of everything, might be something out of place

 

Gimme a sec

 

Honestly i dont know enough to help probably but pics may help others

The one thing I hear that causes that the most often is your track bar. But really any steering component should be checked. This page has some good stuff, I be read it before it my curiosity readings. http://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-death-wobble.html

 

I used to get it really bad on my JEEP, 1 issue was the steering stabilizer which is essentially a shock for the steering.

This was the other issue. I think we've gone through 5 track bars on that thing.

 

@Overkill07

I had the dead spot in my 1989 Wrangler after replacing the following items:

Power steering pump
Intermediate Steering Shaft
Steering Gear Box
Steering Stabilizer (the shock)

I checked the following and were good:
Ball Joints on Knuckles
Tie Rods
Greased Ball Joints and Tie rod ends
Pitman Arm
Track Bar (Removed it but I have leaf spring fronts. DO NOT REMOVE if you have coil spring suspension!)

Ended up being in my case:
Drag Link ends. The joint where it tied into the tie rod was worn out, giving a dead spot like someone above mentioned.

It's likely one (or a combination) of these things above.

 

Installed by awning...

 

What you use to install it? Those L Brackets?

 

Yes sir worked out perfect, you will have to drill the holes bigger. Just on one side for the awning.
