So, I have just gotten my newest comanche, and have a few questions for the knowledgeable community here.
This comanche has a completely custom suspension build underneath of it. It was built with, I believe, a set of 5.10 ford half ton axles from 1979 with a 4 link suspension, I think, a six inch lift on a set of 15's and some 36 inch super swamper iroks. The front tires are pretty worn, the backs are brand new.
It is, however, an unfortunate victim of the dreaded death wobble. Now, I will need help with diagnosis, and also a few other customization questions. So, to start, because it is a completely custom axle, the front sits about six inches further out on the passengers side because the placement of the transfer case would cause the driveshaft to contact where the 4 link meets up. I would like to know if there is any way to fix this, or even customize the axle so it doesnt stick out so far?
Im a sucker for symmetry, and I also feel like this might have something to do with the death wobble.
Another reason may be that the tires were never really balanced or aligned.
Thanks for the help, and I will try to post a pic later.
