DEATH WOBBLE EXPLAINED
UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF DEATH WOBBLE: OR HOW TO TAME YOUR RAM'S TEMPER
Alright folks, buckle up for the wild ride as we decode the dreaded Death Wobble and show you how to send it packing. In this era of short attention spans, we'll give you the instant fix you've been craving. Brace yourselves, 'cause we're about to drop some truth bombs!
THE SAVIOR OF ALL WOBBLES: TRACK BAR TO THE RESCUE!
Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk track bars, the undisputed champions of wobble annihilation. The stock bar? Garbage. It wiggles more than a jellyfish doing the hokey-pokey. Avoid those Moog bars or the ones from your sketchy auto parts store; they'll just bring back the wobble in a mere 15k miles. Your savior comes in the form of a top-quality Trackbar like Thuren Fabrication's majestic creation. Don't settle for less!

LOCK AND LOAD THOSE TRACK BAR BOLTS!
Listen up, rookies, 'cause this is where things get real. Those track bar bolts need to be tighter than your grip on a bag of hot Cheetos. Minimum torque? 215 ft-lbs. You'll need a torque wrench that means business or a Herculean 3-foot breaker bar. Tighten that bolt until you're convinced it's gonna snap, then add another 50 ft-lbs just for kicks. Seriously though, tighten it to the specified torque, it’s specified!
EGG-CELLENT TRACK BAR BOLT HOLES? THINK AGAIN!
Don't let those egg-shaped holes ruin your day. Blame those loose track bar bolts for the mischief. But fear not, brave souls, for salvation awaits. Consider upgrading to larger bolts and put those egg-shaped nightmares to rest.
THE TANGO OF BAD ALIGNMENTS!
Picture this: You leave the tire shop with a swagger in your step, only to have death wobble ambush your ride on the way home. It's like a cruel joke. The culprits? Toe-in and cross castor conspiring against you. Unearth the real specs you need in the glorious TECH DATA section here: https://www.thurenfabrication.com/
TIRES, THE MASTERS OF DISASTER!
Oh boy, tires can make or break you. Brace yourself for the Hall of Shame, where the worst tires for heavy trucks reside:
- Old worn out tires.
- BFG (Bummer, Frustration, and Grief)
- Cooper (Coop-out) D load tires (D for Dastardly)
- ACE (All Crap Everything)
- Anything cheap or made overseas that makes you go, "Huh?"
And hey, if you pair these tire horrors with worn-out front end parts like a shaky steering damper, loose ball joints, a flimsy drag link, wimpy tie rods, or a wonky steering box, you're in for a wild, white-knuckle adventure.
