Death wobble
I have a 97 disco it’s wobbling at 60+ miles an hour I just had a tires balanced it kind of stopped a little bit of it but it’s still doing it what’s the next step I should do the steering Mechanisms the front shock damper? I’ve done this before but it seem I replace a lot of the bushings and I didn’t really completely took care much of it so maybe I like to approach it a different way before replacing all of the front end bushings

The death wobble can be brought on by several things...
- wheel bearings worn. jack up a wheel, grab the outside of the tire at 12 and 6 positions. if you can wiggle it up and down your bearings are shot.
- improper pre load on swivel ball pin. more technical and a bit involved.
- front upper shock bushings could be shot. Front shocks themselves could be shot.
- steering damper shot
