Is it bumpsteer of death wobble? If woble try playing with the shackle lengths. I run unbalanced 38's with no steering stabilizer and have no bumprsteer and a very very light trace of death wobble

Death wobble is some bad stuff. I solved a case of death wobble by correcting the toe. As for bump steer you should be getting very little of that. Unless your drag link is at a severe angle. Try to get the drag link as level as you can. You might need a drop pitman arm. Whatever you do don't run a Z link. It won't solve the bumpsteer because the angle from TRE to TRE will be the same. And Z links are just weak and unsafe.
