DEATH WOBBLE!!!!
 

I have a 98 chevy 1500 with a fairly big lift and I have this wobble that I get when I reads 30mph or so.. If I sped up real fast or slam on the brakes it stops until next time I ease into 30mph.. Can anyone help me???[8D]

shake down the front end...sometimes bigger tires put more stress on wearable front steering and suspension parts..jack up the front of your truck and with the steering wheel locked grab a front tire at 12 and 6 oclock and wiggle it. play that way means ball joints do the same at 9 and 3 that means tie rod ends or pitman/idler arm. if no play check wheel balance and alignment

check your rotors. i had this same problem on my 92 chevy. it just got worse and worse. then i replaced them and problem solved

check out your steering stabilizer too. I had that happen on a jeep of mine... Go over some railroad tracks and it would shake like crazy. Put a beefier steering stabilizer on there (with bolts intact, unlike the stocker!) and the problem was gone!

Worth a look.
