Death Wobble or Violant Shaking on Diesel Trucks

Is the front end of your Ford Powerstroke, Dodge Cummins or GM Duramax experiencing violent shaking or/and extreme wobble in the front end of your diesel truck?

There are a few things your may want to have checked out on your diesel truck when this dangerous wobble happens. After installing a lift kit on your diesel truck it is highly recommended to have your truck re-torqued to factory specs after 500 miles and periodically after that. The track bar, pitman arm and pan hard bar are notorious for coming loose. Inspect these three areas on your truck and re-torque if necessary.

Also you may want to have your diesel mechanic check your ball joints. Worn or damaged ball joints can also be a factor to this dreaded death wobble. Orange County Diesel is an experienced repair facility specializing in diesel engines such as Ford Powerstroke, GM Duramax and Dodge Cummins trucks and SUV’s. Orange County Diesel has seen and fixed many of these Death Wobbles and we recommend stopping by to have your diesel truck diagnosed and repaired by a DIESEL EXPERT.
