Check alignment and caster. They seem to be the biggest culprits

I guess you should had me do it. If you want to bring it by I could look at it for you. Things to look at is your toe (should be 1/8" toed in), also look at your caster as stated before, it should be 0-5 degrees.

Lewis, where you you put the angle finder to get the corect caster reading?

 

[lewis]

I always put it on top of the knuckle.

Pictures would be a great help.

How's your trackbar/draglink relationship?

 

[Rot Box]

It is normal to have a little more bumpsteer with the high steer conversion--but too much is obviosly a problem. Do you have any sort of shimmy too?

How long are your shackles? Did you drill out the frame for the top shackle bolts? How tall of springs did you use? Drop pitman arm or strait? Really big lifts put the drag link on a steep angle...

is bump steer the same as death wobble?

 

[Chevycrew]

bump steer is hit a bump and it jerks the wheel.

Death wobble is side to side and or up and down shake of the front tires.

No, but sometimes bump steer can cause death wobble to start.
