Re: Dana 60 kingpin death wobble

I re-read this again and something stood out to me. Why are your tire pressures so high? 80 is pretty high for front tires, even if hauling heavy. Seems like that that would turn the tires into basketballs, definitely not help the situation.

Re: Dana 60 kingpin death wobble

I had the DW when I had the D44 installed (since then installed a D60). What I did to get out of it at the time was just slow down. I made it to where I was going and decided to rebuild the D44 (it was mostly all original 52 years old). Does anyone have any video from underneath during the DW? I think the wheels move toe in and toe out rapidly but maybe the wobble is side to side, like turning left then right rapidly? It would be interesting to know that. Maybe the movement is up and down like some harmonic in the shocks and springs?
