Some info on your vehicle would help such as lift/tires/axles. But start by checking all front end components.

Try a search for "death wobble" it will get you the best results. Alot of us have dealt with this problem and its well covered.
 
I'll guess it's a stock rig without a 60.. initial guess would be worn TRE's...

Has a 4inch rough country lift with 35x12.50 bf all terrains, stock axles. Took a look at the tie rod ends and they are worn out. On the way to the shop i had a tire blowout so thats a whole other problem.:doah:
 
lol, I really hope these new TRE's stop this death wobble. Also I want to put a 60 in the front but have no clue where to buy one or the price.. Any ideas?
 
the grail of GM front axles can be found, eh, the usuals, craigslist, our classifieds, eghey, k30 parts trucks, etc... they run $300 to $2000 :haha:, but run of the mill, need a going over, used pricing might be the 600 to 800 range...
 
eh, you know how that is Chris, if I said the average price of a 60 is 800 to 1000, i woulda heard the chorus of "i got mine for 500" posts.. :haha:

and actually I'd say on average, it seems like the prices have averaged a couple hundie lower the last couple years than prior...

heck, i paid a grand for mine... :doah:
