I did a back yard alignment on mine, replaced the track bar with an adjustable one and balanced my tires. Cheap steps to go with for starters. And worked.

How much better are the ajustable track bars? And what brand should I go with? I do know that rusties has a poor quality for track bars

From my understanding they don't go out as easily as stock. I don't know brands tho. Picked mine up from a friend of a friend. But I would check yours at least.

What about your hubs? You check them? And the bracket for your track bar wasn't hollowed out was it? I had to re drill mine.

"Death Wobble" is most likely caused by your trackbar ( bad bushings, wrong angle due to lift, etc...) and/or your front end is toed out...

Well when I had my death wobble my track bar was not only bad but the bolt was loose on the driver side bracket. So the more I shook the more the bolt made that hole bigger and bigger on the bracket. So I had to drill a new hole or my wobble would never go away. And it will ruin a new track bar in no time.

From my experience yeah. Drill a hole just big enough for that bolt end. Or buy a new one if you want everything done right. Hell I drilled mine ill take a pic of how far over I drilled in the morning. It's midnight right now and kinda dark Haha.
