I keep thinking about the guy that posted a while back, he had a violent tank slapper wobble at speed. Fortunately he was able to recover from it but this haunts my mind worrying about it happening to me.
I've done all service to the forks, tire and such but I still get a wobble on decel around 40 mph.
Back when I was rock crawling with 4 wheel drives and sand rails we would put a steering damper on the steering linkage.
A guy I worked for saw this one time on my International Scout and commented that he used to put those on motorcycles, that he never thought to put one on a truck.
It worked great to drastically reduce the effect rocks and the road would have on the steering wheel from pushing the tires where you dont want it to go.
I've never seen a damper recommended here on the forum to help in stopping the wobble.
Why is this?
Could it be nobody has thought of this or am I missing something?
I reed M/C mags and dont see them for sale either. ?
I havent done much research on the subject yet, I thought I'd get some input here first.
