Could that be a possible cause? Ever since my steering pump spit off the belt and started making noise late last fall, the wobble has been getting worse. Wheel bearings are fine, trunion bearings are fine, preloads are all within spec. (front end completely rebuilt last spring) Rod ends are new, Tires are balanced and the the toe has been set in about 1/4" and still have lots of wabble between 40-50mph. I'm stumped. Could the pump be pulsing and causing the wobble?  :screwy:

I think the housing is bent :sad2: 4* caster on the pass side & 8* on the drivers side. Alignment shop won't touch it because of that. They advised me not to drive it at all. Tough titty! daily driver.

Worn steering stabilizers have been known to contribute to death wobble.
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough

What steering stabilizer? They only mask the problems in your front end.

True. Maybe you should put one on.

time for a new housing then budday :( pretty normal for toyota  stuff.. thats why i went to GM.. i can actually not have to worry about alignment .. or bending a housing.. ...   maybe stick a steering stab on it till you can find a housing ?
