Well, nothing like death wobble to instigate a near complete front end rebuild…
New TREs, track bar bushings, front hubs, bearings, and flanges. Wheels balanced and alignment done. Wobble better but still there between 40-45mph. On to shocks, steering dampener/stabilizer, and reinstalling...

From the last event, July 2019:
Hard pass at $40K. Reasons already covered above.
