Re: Stabilizer bar?
What you're experiencing is called the "death wobble." It is fairly common with Dana 60 front driving axles and is generally kingpin related. Do a search for "death wobble" and you should find quite a bit of info.
Dual shocks, steering stablizers, or other bandaids won't fix it. Dual steering stabilizers might mask it for awhile, but without fixing the problem you have a very dangerous situation. -
