In my case it was the harmonics and only happened twice, but that was enough to scare the "pee wadden" out of me!! Just say "no" to death wobbles!!

I'm not running PS so I'd think that a stabilizer would just make the steering a little harder. What's your thoughts about that?

No difference in the resistance to normal steering, the damper works on higher frequencies.

Had both front tires re-balanced today. Both tires were out of balance. The drives side required a little extra weight to get it to balance. The passengers side rim was slightly bent but it balanced fine. The fellow at the tire shop said they see a lot of bent rims from all the pot holes in this town. I rotated the front tires and set the air pressure to 27 psi in all 4 tires. We are headed to a cruise-in this weekend that is about 25 miles away. We'll see if I get the "Death Wobble" again this coming weekend. This could be a long process to figure out just what could be wrong. What would be the luck in getting it resolved on the first try
