Hello there after many years which doesn't found the problem with death wobble on greece forums. I want to try here with yours. I have changed of the kingpins bearings and add 1.2mm shims , I have install Adjustable panhard rod front and rear, front radius arm adjustable, and I have 2"lift with shocks absorbers kyb gas a just and mad springs. I wear 80off-20on, tires with steal rims.
After all this without having much speed when I cross a small ditch start the death wobble. I have also done alignment and balancing. I don't know that else to do, if you have any ideas please tell me to solve the problem.
Welcome to the forum. Have you inspected and or replaced the track rod and drag link ball joints? Also same for front wheel bearings?

Like Lambert says change all 4 tie rod ends....... If still wobbling try both rear tires on the front if no change after the above change wheel bearings
I have intermittent shuffling not so much a death wobble I change tie rods every year new panhard bushes too
Only thing that's not new are wheel bearings......... But my shuffle is intermittent like doesn't do it for weeks or every it does it every other trip out...... So I just live with it 😂
Hello guys thank you for answers the Technican who went said it is all OK and the bushes on panhard rods and on track's bar joint but i didn't inspection it.
How large tyres?
tried it with smaller /original size?
If you have adjustable rods, a small increase in toe-in could help when if yuou have large tyres like 30 or 31"
steering damper?
(could hide the problem, but not correct it)
Wobble is caused by the sum of all the play in the system. Very small play will not cause a wobble with smaller tyres but with larger tyres and more offset wheels it gets bad.
