Stay on top of these guys. Youve spent some serious coin and it shouldnt be someone elses problem , Just fix it. Caster is the tilt forward or backward the the knuckle has on the end of the housing. It aids in straight line ability , leaning the tires into a turn , returning the wheel to center after a turn. It literally has to be , a bushing , a bolt , a ball joint , Trac bar, orrrrrrr caster. Ive seen DW at speed in another lane --------- it scared me too ! FjR68

Death Wobble fixed!! For me, the issue was the factory steering box and not having a stabilizer. Right now I'm running the redneck ram hydro assist with the ported out steering box. That has fixed the problem. I'm so happy. Lol.

The larger 38 inch tires with steel wheels were too much weight for the factory steering box without a stabilizer. Problems solved.

That isn't a steering stabilizer it is hydro assist. Big difference

I recently ran Jericho with a guy who had a full hydro system. Was very impressive to watch!
