    How critical is a Steering Stabilizer?

    First post to these fine forums. Unfortunately, it is about the aforementioned "Death Wobble". After 10 years in the Army, raising 4 kids, skiing accidents, motorcycle accidents, tornadoes, forest fires and being married to a red head; I can most certainly tell you that having death wobble at...
