Cured my Death Wobble.
Situatation before I touched anything, checked alignment it was :
Camber Left= -1/2degree right= -1 degree
Caster left= +6.5 degrees, right= 7 degree
Toe in= 1/4"
Tires are radials MT 24by 5/15" Tire inflation L= 32 psi, right 27psi
Found one jamb nut loose on the tie rod, both wheel bearings were loose and out of spec.
Right front tire was out of balance
The fix:
1)Remove and inspect wheel bearings, repack and torque to 20lb/ft then loosen nut , re-torque while spining tire(no brake caliper), loosen one flat install cotter pin. Checked by spining tire, very slight drag, they are tighter than normal spec, so I'll leave them there and watch for wear but think I'll be fine with that light front end.
2) Inflate both front tires to 22psi, balance rt front.
3) re-align front end to:
Caster: 6 degrees both sides
Toe out 1/16"
4) Torque all heims and tighten jamb nuts.
5) Install SoCal steering dampner
I'm doing jumping jacks on the steering and ride now, so much more smooth, no more bouncing (too much tire pressure) and the bad bumpy roads dont send the car into seizures now.
