If you have the problem after fixing the bearing post up and ill try to figure out a way to give you a pinion angle for the front. If the axle is tilted up or down from stock it will cause this also.

thanks i think the pinion angle may be alittle down in the rear from stock im gonna try to put in longer shackels today for a little more lift in the front and if its the angle that may fix it , im still gonna tear down both sides and rebuild them anyway.

well i went about 1.5 in longer on the shackels

.i used a stock set from my s-10 blazer i had laying aroung . and it took most of the shake out of it . still starts to shake at about 45 mph or so but not as bad as it was before . doing more checking i think its the wheel bearing as just the tire and roter move not the whole knuckel . so im gonna get a net set of bearings for both sides and do that and add the steering shock .

got my wheel spacers on now . and mounted my front guards back today . it now sits more level . im pretty happy with is so far

tightened bearings , still got the shakes , can i get the angle degree by leveling across and strait lining the kingpin angle and checkin the degree that way? i know the factory spec is 2.5- 4.5 deg pos caster , whats the easiest way to get the degree measurement i what im asking so i can get some shims.

Maybe someone has an angle finder and can get you a reading for stock. I dont have one and mine is modified. just bought it and dont know if i have any woble or not so mine isnt a good one to base it of of.

death wobble gone .yea after checkin the caster angle twice ive got abot 5 deg pos. caster that very close to stock only 1/2 deg off . so i start recheckin things , turns out when i changed the tierod last week i didnt get the toe adjustment right it was 3/4 inch wider in the front than the rear readjusted to about 1/2 inch less in front than back . abd tada wobble gone even at 55mph . i guess i read the tape wrong when setting it last time . thanks all for the help.

every thing is holding up real good , only wish i had used 2 in wheel spacers cause i still rub when turning while flexing . but it all works good so far no breakage.
