Did you redo the alignment after you installed the new draglink/tie-rod?

Death Wobble? All bushings good? Everything adjusted correctly (Alignment, etc...)?

I had the same problem, check motor mounts and make sure your drive-line is balanced correctly

really, ive never heard of it but i have DW and a bad mount as well. and ive tried everything else to solve it! i have new everything on the steering, other than my casters not being set right possibly and the motor mount or the used 33s i just put on it that caused it all to start again i have no clue. it would be nice if its a motor mount but ive never heard of that nor can i picture how it would cause dw
