HZJ77 JDM import and death wobble

[SNLC]

my wobble isn't in the steering per say, but more of a shake at between 90 and 110.

Driveline or tire balance.

Cheers

interesting, if you followed through my thread there are some common suggestions - from my experience with other cars this in particular sounds like it could be unbalanced wheels or tires, or if you are running wheels with the wrong centrebore, a bad or missing hub adapter. But keep in mind 1) my experience with these trucks is probably more limited than you, and 2) with that amount of info provided the likely hood i could help is that much lower

Although i think you said that it only happens sometimes, which i think might negate the balance or hub issue since those should cause shaking pretty much every time you hit the speed range that causes problems.

When we talk about death wobbles, its almost impossible to control the vehicle. Is yours like that? Maybe your wheels are way out of balance>

Mine isn't as dangerous as the dreaded "death wobble", but the minion nut was loose and there was some play in the pinion that was contributing to the vibration. I'd ruled out an out of balance wheel some time ago (new wheels + tires) but at the moment they are in need of a good cleaning so that needs to be done as well. Most of the vibration is now gone with the tightened pinion, but, I'll have ot keep my eye on things.
