Death wobble

[JUKE179r]

Yep! Eliminating that free play in steering helps.
Before, I had so much free play that I could turn my steering wheel from 12:00 position to the 2:00 position and then the wheels would start to turn.

Update:
Wobble is back. Its so strange. It only happens between 50mph and 60mph. but sometimes I can do 52 no problem then all of sudden the wheel just starts shaking side to side... I will say any brake input while in that speed range will make it 10x worse.
Would a warped brake rotor cause the wobbling?
Im not sure what else I can replace on the front end that hasnt already been replaced.

Question, what panhard bar did you buy and what bushings are included? I bought a Terrafirma bar with Poly Bush bushings are there was so much slop in the system right out of the box, I was getting death wobble until I swapped to OEM LR rubber bushings.

Bet it's the swivel pin preload

I had a terrafirma in there that had been there about 6-7yrs with the orange polybush. The only reason I replaced it was I couldn't get it to adjust. The new TF came with red polybush. Honestly they both looked fine to me.

Yes, rotors being warped can cause what you describe.

Yeah makes sense. The brakes are a 4-5yrs old? Its the only thing on the whole front end that hasnt been recently replaced.
