I went to look at a truck tonight and it was perfect besides major death wobble whenever you hit a bump in the road. I checked under it and everything was tight and looked good besides the drag link where you bolt to the pitman arm is completely worn out so I was guessing this was the cause. Do you guys have any input on whether or not you think this would be the root of the cause or do you think there are other underlying issues. I don't think its the tires being out of balance because it drove perfect otherwise.

Tires wide as fawk. and probably out of balance. Could be ball joints.

sd's are known for eating ball joints. I would lean towards drag and maybe ball joints if the only time you noticed the wobble was when you hit a bump.

Jake the tires are only like a 12.50 or something just on a wide rim. The tires are different than in the picture. Could be balljoints too, but from what i could tell they seemed alright even though the only real way to know for sure is jacking the wheel off the ground.

gotcha LOL

Even then it can be hard to tell. The wheel doesn't have to move an appreciable amount by hand to create problems on the road, often times the only way you fully decide they were shot is getting new ones in and noticing the difference.
