Wobble at highway speeds?

Lately I've been getting some excessive wobbles at highway speeds but only while turning the wheel, usually only happens when turning left but it feels like the whole axle is hopping off of the ground.

I'm running a 4" OME lift with brand new shocks, brand new steering stabiliser and a fresh alignment. Tire size is 31x11.5

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Checked out your track bar and mount for wear or loose bolts?

Sounds like the dreaded DEATH WOBBLE to me.

It isn't true death wobble unless you have to change your shorts after it happens. :laugh:

When parked the trac-bar has the slightest bit of wobble at the mount but no play on the other end.

Old Man- I assume you speak from experience?

original lca's??? If so you should put new (aftermarket) ones on. I had the same issues and dumped a ton of money into all the possibilities, until lastly replacing the lca's-which fixed my problem.

Also make sure the tires are perfectly in balance. I prefer media balancing as to not lose weights and throw off the balance.
