Hi to all, i have death wobble on my 2019 jimny after bending tie rod and steering dumper breakage. Jimny is lifted and run 33s. Death wobble appears from 50 to 60 kmh and more when i breaking and go from 40 to 0 speed.
i straigthining my tie rod and i'm going to do a front alignment next days. I check track bar, drag link and wheel bearing for play and all seems to be good.
do you think i solve with alignment and stwering dumper replace? What i can still check?
thanks to all

More than likely the new damper will fix it. Suzuki have been chasing Death Wobble for years, with bulletins about shimming. I suspect reducing wobble is the reason for fitting the damper in the first place.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Could be, it is an accumulation of things, like slack bearings and the 33s, but you say the wobble appeared after you broke the damper, so an unbroken one should bring it back under control.
