Thanks for taking the time to explain this while you were installing this stuff! It's one thing to tell someone how to do something, but it's even better to see a visual of the process. Really appreciate your time Dex.

Tight joints, good alignment and parallel track bar and drag link.

I have a BK Fabworks 1 ton steering kit on my JK Rubicon. It was the most affordable kit on the market… and with a no questions asked warranty. That had me sold for sure so I told a friend of mine who also has a JK and he pulled the trigger. All of the same purchase. Easy to install and a great product all the way around..

They’ve been great working with me forsure. That makes a huge difference!!

Watching your videos had taught me allot about this stuff. Keep those videos coming

That upstairs rc cave is freaking awesome

Another Excellent Learn with Dex Vid , Merry Christmas !!!

love bk fab it’s local af to me only about 10 min from the house

Nice, I'm about to weld up my cav fab ota track bar this weekend.

This is an amazing video!!! Dead on explanation with the RC model. Wow, thank you!!!!

I saw your problem instantly when I saw your pinion angle. Your front diff is so rotated from your lift that you have no positive caster. Your upper ball joint needs to be behind the lower. Yours is right above it or in front. So your front wheels have death wobble like shopping cart front wheels.

Thank you for this video and thank you for taking the time

Merry Christmas bro! Love your channel and keep doing what you do!

I have a bk fab track bar on my 2ndgen Cummins man what a difference. Keep up the good vids

after chasing the wobble myself i found the frame rails flex as the next failure point. but this over the axle would reduce the leverage wrenching the rail back and fourth under heavy tires the unibody was never made to deal with. the mass is not there to hold it. so 50 mph is the top cruise speed for a woodser. if you want a highway cruiser get a grand and leave it alone!

Just put one on last week. Haven’t gotten to try it out yet. Also put on their frames stiffeners, and made it a little difficult mounting the upper bracket, love the videos

My 82 hilux with 3" suspension lift had a death wobble while stopping. Everything was tight. Finally took the sway bar off and it fixed the problem. Drives perfect now.

Awesome video, marry Christmas Dex!

Got a bk track bar for my old 2 door. Guy was super cool, great products also got a hoodie 👍🏼👍🏼 merry Christmas from north al

That headliner is pretty badass 💪

Hey those welds look pretty good actually. The one thing I personally don't like is the 1/2" of threads holding that heim into the track bar--the skinny tapered part at that. I think you want at least an inch of threads, preferably more. The other thing I'd suggest doing is tack welding your lock nuts after it's all dialed in.

Dang good lookin front end there bruh!

Bk fab is local shop to me. They build some of the best jeep parts I’ve ever ran and damn good prices

Great Vidja Dex...Merry Xmas.

Hey man I just saw you on home alone! Merry Christmas sticky bandit!

We spent a ton of money replacing suspension components and it turned out to be a bubble in a new defective tire that you couldn't even see.

Best cure I found is get it aligned then adjust tie rod so both front wheels point slightly away from each other.cures it everytime.

Crazy how you replace a used part and now it death wobbles my Jeep did the same thing after I changed the stock trac bar

Change the angel on the diff so top king pin is back to the firer wall and the bottom is more to bumper .....you know so it's not like a shopping cart front wheel doing death wobble...🤔

You the man!

So I've been constantly plagued by excessive rattling and bump steer, no death wobble yet. But I've literally replaced every ball joint, tie Rod, CV, wheel bearing, control arm, control arm bushing, every bushing for that matter, and even welded fender washers for additional material to bolt to. Still shakes and rattles and bump steers

Differential bushings good ? For upper links. Fixed my problem after I replaced ever dang Thang 😂 first wish I would of replaced them dudes off the rip..first 😢

What do y ok u need ? I am Illinois there few xj in junkyards by me. Gonna go get few parts

I've been told not to leave axle iin housing when weldiing

My '98 XJ has death wobble, i had to park it until I could figure it out, I've changed a bunch of stuff but i think O'Reilly's sold me the incorrect Trac bar

What leaf springs did you use for 10 inchs of lift?

Do you have any 6in lift kits for 97 jeep grand cherokee lerado

Any issues with the shirt heim bolt? It looks short, like its gonna break short.

I've lifted my xj 6 1/4 inches doing over knuckle steering, with over axle track bar, should I leave pitman arm or what drop? Of course I'll find out once installed. But wanting to save time

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will only work if you have a lift?

I’ll tell you what the funnest vehicle I had was a piece of shit 96 GC. It would death wobble all the time on back roads. It was fun because looking back I just never knew what the hell was gonna go wrong next and kept me and my buddies on our toes. A nice vehicle is just boring and you feel bad when you mess it up

Does anyone tack weld their nuts on steering jam nuts?

God bless

What color blue is on your axle? Really like that color!

Technically yes. Same length is ideal but gets into custom stuff.

Do you find it better to run cv axles than stock u-joint style?

@MrMrsregor

@@AA-tb4ffif I remember correctly. He said that if you break a cv axle, you can keep driving the rest of the day. But if you break a ujoint in the axleshaft, the ears can start to overlap and when they stack on top of each other they can push the ball joints out or break them. And the cost of replacing a cv axleshaft if not much more than a ujoint, but if you break a ujoint, you typically end up breaking axle shafts and have to buy new axle shaft too But I feel like the cv is not quite as strong, but less risk, amd cheaper to fix

There really is no reason to run high-clearance bars. - The tie rod is a pain in the ass to set toe. - The drag link is a pain in the ass to set your steering wheel. - The drag link sags from weight and increases the angle difference between track and drag, thereby increasing bump steer to some degree. Just cut your sway bar mounts off and run straight bars. Straight bars also let you get that perfect adjustment.
