Ok, so I am headed to the dealership this morning for an oil change and tire rotation. I hit a bump on the road and immediately it begins to death wobble. I stop and get out to look..didn't see anything at the time. Start driving and it happens again! So I nurse it to the dealership with a death grip on the steering wheel. I tell them to check out my front suspension while they are at it. The said they couldn't see anything visual wrong with the suspension however when doing the rotation they noticed that some tires are mounted backwards...sure enough i look and my tires are marked for which side is supposed to face where......they aren't able to remount them because their machine isn't big enough but they still rotated them. They recommended an alignment but they couldn't fit me in today. On my way home it seemed to behave better after the rotation. I get home and take a look for myself and immediately notice my stabilizers are dented in from the track bar hitting them? I have the knuckles turned away from them so this surprised me. Could this have caused my issue? Does anyone make a stabilizer with better clearance?

What size tires and why do you need dual stabilizers?

38 inch baja boss mounted on AEV borah wheels...very heavy set up. I got the stabilizers to help reduce feedback...and they look cool :like:

I didn't get them because I had a death wobble problem...first time has happened to me was today

Why does it look like your higher up clamp on your trac bar look like the nut is pointing out??? Is that the point of contact???

And yes... if you bent a shock tube... it’s broke and need replaced.

I just went out and tested it full lock both ways and it is no where near close to touching

Cool so lock to lock it’s fine but what about up and down at the same time???

Also look at up from under the stabilizer. You can see it has a wear spot on it... whatever is his hitting it should have a wear spot too.

IMO, there are allot better set ups out there. A quality single stabilizer, like Falcon, Fox TS, OME, Yeti, Factory OEM, the list goes on and on. There is a bunch of better options than your current set up.

I am thinking that is what I am going to upgrade to. I was looking at those last night. Thanks!
