Default Re: Possible causes of slow speed (5-15 mph) death wobble

I see this issue come up from time to time. I also see issues arise with folks who have modified V8 engines with multiple carbureators, a different camshaft, ect. I wonder if during these custom builds, if enough research was done to figure out if I change something, what effect will it have on other functions? I've thought about this a lot. If you change one item, for instance the dropped axle, how does that one change alone effect the steering and handling? Now change the steering box and maybe the drag link, have I compounded a problem? It takes a small amount of engineering to make sure all those modifications will give you good results. Some of the experienced hot rod builders have that knowledge and expertise.
