Yes. May take some beating though.

Start checking joints in the front end, start with the track bar

I used a different bolt because the oem one got stripped. Maybe that could be a reason? What joints am I checking and what am I checking for?

Make sure that track bar bolt is big enough, if it has room to wiggle in the hole then you will have death wobble, also make sure it is TIGHT.

Can someone post a photo of exactly what bolt you are supposed to check for a loose track bar? I don't even know where that part is. DO you check the bolt on both ends, or just one side? Thank you.
