Thanks for the video. Doing all 4 corners Bilsteins on my 2021 6.7 hopefully this weekend if UPS plays nice. Did you lift your vehicle at all or place jack stands to complete? Did you remove tires?

Nope, the back is obvious and easy. The front, I just turned the wheels. The top nut on the front shocks is the worst part, but it isn't that bad. Good luck! I noticed a difference

@@WhitetailGarage Thanks for the feedback and help, I got it done! You are not lying about the front top nut. The allen easily stripped on both sides and using the ratcheting wrench was a pain in the ass. I ended up lowering the boot and putting 2 vise grips to grab the shaft. Put an 18mm socket and went to town. It was sooooo much easier. I saw several videos of dudes using a little allen key and ratcheting wrench, not sure I believe it 100% :)

hey there. Curious if you could tell me what you had replaced on the front suspension regarding the death wobble? I don't have this but I have a vibration that I'm wondering if they would be similar. I haven't replaced the track bar, drag link, or ball joints but it sounds like you've had to replace either all or some of those components. I appreciate what you're able to share.

My bad. Just saw your reply to the same question. What year is your truck? I've got a 2017

Good video! Why did you go with the double stabilizer versus the single?

Just wanted the most dampening. This was a highly recommended kit from what I found. After having almost all front end/steering components replaced to fix the death wobble, I went overkill here to try and slow any return of death wobble due to worn out steering components. I am the second owner and I am pretty sure the first owner had larger wheel/tire combo on all stock components. That is the theory floated around anyway....

You really don't need a dual

Good install video. Just curious what was the remedy for your death wobble issue?

The dealer replaced parts in the order of most worn. Most of the steering components were replaced. The last parts replaced were the track bar and the gear box. They chose to do them at the same time, one or both fixed the issue.

But you said in your video that steering stableier fix the death wobble for and one who doesn't know better will think this is a fix for it

I did not say that steering stabilizer fixed the death wobble. I had to go back and rewatch the video to make sure. The upgraded front suspension will reduce premature wear on steering components. That will lengthen the time between the next occurrence of any issue resulting from worn parts.

Ive got a few more projects I could hand off to you.

Lol! Thanks I have plenty for now! 😅

If you had a death wobble putting a steering stable did not fix anything it just band-aid the problem fix the worn out steering parts steering Stabler just help the vibration

I agree. The death wobble wasn't fixed by the stabilizer. It was fixed by the dealer replacing nearly every other steering component. The last two items replaced that resulted in the inability to reproduce the death wobble were the drag link and the gear box. I added the stabilizer to upgrade the suspension and reduce the impact on steering components in an effort to increase the time between now the next occurrence. Death wobble occurs because of worn steering components on a solid front axle vehicle.

What brand drag link and gear box did you install? Any other components? My tire shop keeps overlooking steering the steering issues I've brought up, so I'm doing it myself. I've been doing alot of research myself for the same driving style needs and you have just stamped my findings into concrete! Much appreciated!

It was Ford parts bought from the dealer. I have seen it suggested that aftermarket upgrading the drag link will improve the situation. Since dealer had just replaced it and I struggled to find an upgraded drag link for a stock height truck, I opted not to upgrade.

Ok, thank you very much! I believe I just need the tie rod at the pitman arm. I hope you got/get a nice Whitetail this year!!!
