Did moving the steering box and track bar help the death wobble?

yes but ALOT of it was the angle of my balljoints on the 'C's i was way way way way way off.
still hard to steer, but like i say i think that is the intermediate shaft.

to get rid of bump steer, get yourself a dual steering stabilizer for the vehicle your axle came out of.....i have a custom made brackets on my truck and man what a difference it made.....i need the dual setup, but that will come soon enough.....

you will always have bump steer.......there are always going to be things that cause the wheels to vary.....the stabilizers do just that, stabilize them......when you hit a bump or hole, they keep the wheels pointed straight......because they dont allow the wheels to move because of the bump........hense why they call it bump steer.....and hense why they use stabilizers.......if you notice, ALL newer 3/4 and 1 ton trucks come factory with steering stabilizers on their 4x4 trucks.......oooo yea and my dad's semi came factory with a steerings stabilizer......it is a know fact that large diameter wheels will have bump steer and a stabilizer is what helps keep it to a minimum....

that is what i figured. so maybe if i moved the pan hard down some and further out i would be better off??

trouble is you can only get it so close. i dont see how you could make it perfect.
but i think i will try and design it longer.

Obviously a small distance wont make a large difference but it apears to me yo uhave like 4-5 inches difference between the two. remember you have to look at each of those as a radius of a circle. a 4-5" difference in radius is a big difference when it comes to the arc of two circles.
oh yeah i know. it was way off before, since i moved the box it is much better now. but still needs improvement. i wish i would have taken more time on the track bar but i didnt. its not a hard fix though.
