Gen 2 craftsman Hey, I have an off-road/race mower that I built last year, completely redone steering, all heim joints, I believe 8 degrees of caster, I’ve had it at 60 mph before straight as an arrow. After a year of riding it and beating the crap out of it, on the road I had some death wobble that nearly flipped me over. I looked over my steering and I have found that one heim joint was worn enough to cause play. However my concern is it may not be that, because I rode it in mostly stock form for a long time at 30 mph with smooth steering, it had plenty of tie rod play then, and I’ve never had any death wobble. Looking for any suggestions, I can’t replicate the problem and that’s what scares me.
Sometimes death wobble is a frustrating thing to overcome. What is almost as bad is that can get in your head the next time you make a run with it.
Your Racers looks awesome THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
that was a dangerous run son, Glad you are ok
Man that looked like you had your hands full on that run

Even thinking that this thing will ever reach 70 mph is laughable...
