I have an 88 4dr chief, 5spd,4.0
i have had a death wobble building for the last three or four months and have been putting it off due to finances but it is beginning to become troublesome. approx 48-57mph brings on the wobble. I have looked underneath and although I cant pinpoint it this is what I see is wrong..
alll bushings look to be very worn and dry (except those that are soaked in motor oil from blow by; left side). Also when I was working on the brakes last week I noticed that the trackbar bolts that are on the fenderwell side are hand tight and I cant tighten any more bc the nutserts are spinning free.
I would like to upgrade the front end while doing this work but I dont want to have to buy/take things apart twice.
What I would like the jeep to ride on...
-JKS Acos with stock springs (Front sits now at 18 1/4" center to flair)
-quadrateck Hd springs (Rear is sitting at 17" and a couple of mm)
add a JKS 1" shackle to the rear
-JKS quicker disco pn 2002 -or should it be 2000?
What should I get..
I know I would need to get new bushings for the sway bar...
should I get a befier Tie rod and link? which? tnt... rubicon... jks?
is there an adjustable trackbar for my idea?
control arms... fixed, adjustable...
this all seems daunting to me so any advise is worth it
sorry that the descript is so long
