death wobble
so i've been havin death wobble for a while now, it started out as bump steer so i replace the steering damper and it had went away till the first time i went trail riding at the place i hunt at, now when i hit 52-57 i get a wobble in the front end and if i hit a bump (sometimes i aint even gotta hit a bump) i get a major death wobble like i'm about to lose a tire. I have checked my ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar, steering damper and hubs; all seem time with no place in em and no source of a cause, any idea what could be causin this death wobble? I've also balenced my tires and even rotated em and i have had an alignment done on it as well,
Thanks in advance,
Redwolf

First we might want to figure out why you have bump steer. This could be a sign that the steering system and track bar are out of alignment with each other.
As for the alignment, do you know what the numbers are for caster?
