Update #3: 7/01/02 Problem Solved I finally got the truck into an alignment shop to reset my caster settings to the above. Alignment shop says there's too much slop in the tie rod ends (all four of them) to do any good. I told them to go ahead and replace all four of them with Napa's Lifetime...

Thanks Todd I printed the info out from Fritz's site and am going to take it in with me to the front end shop and have them set it to these tolerances. It sounds like it should eliminate this resonating bounce. I checked my lower control cam nuts and they were both pointing straight up. At...

911 Call in MP3 You can listen to the actual 911 call on a link here. Pretty scary, but you'd think people would understand what the N, 2 and 1 are for on the steering column. . http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.shtml

Update #2 May 31 2002 ... Still working on it... I've found a a 4 mile stretch of nasty ashalt road south of town and have been able to duplicate the truck's DEATH WOBBLE on a regular basis. I am now convinced that it is not the rear end hopping up and down like I thought, but the front end...

Thank you to all who've responded. Answers to questions posed: ... Does the wobble disappear when you put it in neutral instead of hitting the brakes? No, I did try this on a lonely stretch over a R. R. crossing thinking it may be the driveshaft warping under load somehow, but the rear still...

More Info on Truck Here's more info on the truck: 4x4; LWB; Wheels are aluminum American Racing Outlaw II's . A "DEATH WOBBLE" it is, but it's not wobbling from the front end, only the rear hopping up and down. I replaced the original ball joint on the track bar with the adjustable one...

Help, I'm having a problem with severe wheel hopping on my '96 3/4t ext cab w/4. 10 limited slip rear end. Travelling greater than around 40mph, when I hit a bump on the road, i. e. when they're doing asphalt resurfacing and you hit that area where the ground up asphalt meets the uncut...
