Death Wobble Help!

Death Wobble Help!
So for about 2-3 months now my truck has been randomly shaking at speeds anywhere from 10mph - 70mph. Sometimes it's a very mild shake, and other times it feels like all 4 wheels are about to fly off... I have a steering stabilizer I'm going to throw on to see if it makes a difference, but just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem and what they did to get rid of it! BTW it's a 4x4 ext cab

Have you checked the tires? How's the front steering/suspension components?

Yeah, I'd take a really good look at your tires. Check for cracking, separation, bubbling...

Can't believe he hasn't even looked at the thing lol. We can't do that.

Oh trust me, I've looked at it lol! I've taken it to a wheel and tire shop twice to get it fixed and it still does it. I have new MOOG upper and lower control arms to put on, along with the steering stabilizer. my current suspension just got redone about a year ago, so I'd say it's still in pretty good shape. I haven't really thought about it being my tires though, so I'll look into it this weekend

possibly out of balanced tires, or worn out idler arm, pit man arm. mine did that and I replaced those and it fixed the death wobble, which I get a little shake due to the bias ply swampers I run

The wobble could be from tire balance or out of round - but not likely.
The wobble is usually caused by worn and loose front suspension parts.
If you do not understand how to check properly, take it to a tire shop and ask them to check. It may e free or it may cost you an inspection fee.
There is something loose - worn shocks, ball joints, control arms, etc.

Check your tire treads and sidewalls for lumps.
