Ok, help please  I was driving home a while ago and hit pot hole with the right fron tire only and the whole truck started to shake violently the seering wheel was almost impossible to hold on to, I slowed down to about 15 mph and it stopped. Went 3 weeks with no problems.Then it happened 2 more times, always when im over 30 mph and hit something with the right tire first. After looking at all the steering components I cant visibly see any problems?????? Please help if you have any ideas. Thanks so much. -Dan 88 burb half ton
Where's the time to work on MY stuff?

Death wobble...
recheck the all the ball joints, wheel bearings, tre's and alignment for toe and poor caster.. the chevy's can also do it upon hard braking. tires and tire pressure will also contribute to the wobble,
I set the toe at 1/8" total and the caster close to 8 degrees using steel shims bolted to the sping pack, via a new center pin, which is hard to do if you're lifted due to the front driveshaft angle you end up with.
a new stabilizer is in order there for sure tho if it has other issues it'll just mask the problem for a while...
