Replace the entire track bar about every 100k to 150k so. Why bother with changing the bushing just replace the entire track bar. By 100 to 150k miles I just replace it take only like 15 mintues.

Death wobble can be hard to diagnose because there can be many causes and because the right conditions must be present to make it occur. Some things that I would be looking at....

Sounds like a faulty bridge to me. That was an attempt at humor. Actually, it seems that your solution was a good one. - John
So, as the title says, I had my first experience with the dreaded death wobble early this morning on my way home from work. I was on a rough city street that I've driven many times. Running about 40-45mph and hit a really rough patch then the front end went bat sh*t crazy. I tapped the brakes and slowed her down to about 20 and it stopped. Made it the rest of the way home with no issue.
Been doing some searching as to the cause and it seems there are multiple reasons as to why it did this. Most seem to point to the trackbar and/or the bushing. I have checked the tierod end of the bar before and it seemed tight. I'll have to check again to be sure.
Any other advise here? Anyone else have experience with a diagnosis?
