01 4Runner - SAS - Is my steering too flat?

Finished up my 01 4Runner 3-link SAS a few months back and have been battling a death wobble ever since. I've been through absolutely everything;
  • Correct toe and caster
  • Check bushings on 3-link
  • Check geometry on 3-link
  • Raised axle-side mount on panhard bar to make it more parallel with drag link
  • Replaced rubber bushings in track bar with solid joints
  • Replaced tie rod ends
  • Rechecked torque on trunion bearings
  • Rechecked torque on wheel bearing
  • Balanced tires
  • etc...

Yes, I have had someone rock the steering wheel while I poke around for movement. Nothing is loose.


The fabricator who I'm working with mentioned that he thinks my steering may be TOO flat...can anyone confirm?

Wow, I thought I replied to this before.
No way to tell if it's too flat from a pic.
What is the caster set to?
What is your toe?
Have you adjusted the steering box adjuster screw?
Do you have a steering stabilizer?
Wheels balanced?
Get us more pics of the suspenion close ups of the knuckle steering and drag links.
