Death wobble
The truck is in the shop right now, but I looked at it yesterday and I don't remember seeing a stabalizer. If it is needed, I don't understand why it wasn't installed @ the factory.

It was part of the four wheel drive option (FX 4) when I got my truck.

steering stabilizers are not to stop wobble they will help it but stabilizers are to ease road feel and wander. They will help with death wobble but that would just be using them as a band aid and not fixing the real problem. Any old vehicles with worn parts are susceptible to death wobble after they start to wear especially solid axle vehicles. My jeep would get it something fierce it was due to bad steering angles due to my lift but if you keep it wobbling, it will burn into the tires and always do it even if you fix the problem.

Death Wobble
Thanks for your comments. They have installed a dampner and I am to receive the truck back today. I am very concerned and hope they will have some solid answers when I see them at pick up time.

Death Wobble
Got the truck back and they installed a "Shimmy Shock" The steering does feel a bit tighter, but I haven't had it on a rough road yet to test for the wobble.
Anyone heard of this shock? |
