horrible wobble

Which I found out today that heim is bad. has play in it. So going to ordered a new one and while im at it going to replace the bushings on other end too. Where could i get a double shesr bracket from? I'll order one of those too
 
Thanks a lot. Been a lot of help. I'll be calling tomorrow to order some new parts. Gonna get a price for the1660. Might just get it depending the difference in that and rebuilding the 1600
 
Which one do i need? I don't know what size heim and bushing. Or are all track bar bushings same size. I'm trying to get a lot done for WF
 
Tyler, you plan on coming to Columbus anytime soon? I can look at it.
 
Umm Aaron I wouldn't feel safe driving it that far. It shakes bad around 45. I'm bout out of ideas. Ready to just buy a whole new track bar. Was thinkin the JCR looked pretty good. And my bushings on my control arms wouldn't be bad already would they? I've only wheeled it once and they might have 5000 on them
 
Still having problems or are you waiting for parts?

Idk if I mentioned this or not... Do you know how to check your castor angle?

In most cases I've found that having your castor off can hurt you seriously.

Since you have wheel spacers I'd also try to 'rotate' the wheels and spacers to eliminate that.
 
I'm waiting on some new parts. I got a new heim and 2 spacers. And a new RE ds track bar bracket. And 2 new tires because my front 2 are shot. Absolutely horrible. I'm thinking that part of it too. And I don't have spacers
 
when i replaced my heim it was a little wiggly... but more significantly, both my frame and axle side mounts were loose. it rolled and popped, and you could definantly feel the axle shifting. i did not experience death wobble though. a lot of people have fixed their wobble with a new track bar... but unless your heim is completely shot, id suspect something else. regardless, a heim is cheap and easy. hope it works for ya.
 
Welp.....one ton steering, RE 1600 track bar, RE double shear drop bracket, new heim and spacers on trackbar, new ball joints, wheel bearings. Wtf why is it so bad?! I'm dropping it off at Sunfire Offroad tonight and letting them deal with it. I HAVE to have this heep done. It IS going to to WF
 
Control arm bushings... castor... Hell! Idk. That stuff is irritating as hell.

Put a damn steering stabilizer bandaid on it!
