So I had to pay a shop to do my Fj60 power steering conversion as I don’t have time. It was a kit from Iron Pig. My fj40 has had a SOA for years and I have never experienced death wobble. Holy crap I thought my steering blew up when it happened on the way home from the shop. There was also a loud banging sound from the engine bay. I pulled over and it happened again 1/2 mile later. Luckily I was very close to home as the 20 mile drive from the shop was good until the end.
I don’t know anything about the shaking but I knew the loud knocking was not right. I noticed the jackass shop forgot to weld a small bearing to where the steering column comes out of the fire wall. So now the steering column shakes and bangs loud against the fire wall. The directions on the iron pig website list the step to weld the bearing to support the shaft.
So my question is, would that loose steering linkage cause the death wobble?
