Death wobble from braking

[flick2614]

Here's the new patented 6 stabilizer setup so that when one bandaid breaks, you have multiple backups!

100% cheaper than servicing ball joints. Looks badass too.

I had the front right axle replaced under warranty by the dealership, afterwards I noticed I get some serious wobbling.

I took it back to them about the 4xe fire issue, and mentioned the violent wobbling after the axle was replaced, from the odometer reading they took it somewhere for a 6 mile test drive, they say they didn't experience anything.

Should they have done an alignment after replacing the axle? I don't think they did.

An alignment wouldn't cause death wobble. But you should have your tires balanced and your bolts checked for proper torque.

A death wobble can be a number of things in the suspension including the tie rod, ball joints, steering stabalizer, track bar, and warped rotors. But if it's only when braking I would definitely check your rotors first! If you need recommendations on suspension parts don't hesitate to give us a call:

I think the issue isn’t that the steering stabilizer isn’t helpful, it’s that it’s turned into a knee jerk reaction on this forum without recommending inspecting all the steering components and other possible causes. Kind of like, I’m having electrical problems and the typical answer being parroted here being, push in your fuses.

Except a loose or not quite contacting fuse will 100% cause electrical gremlins. A bad steering stabilizer will 100% NOT cause death wobble. You can take it off completely and not get death wobble.

Agreed my point being people just repeating what others are saying without basis
