Those threads look shot.
Death wobble is (usually) caused by worn bushings in the track bar or related hardware. Right now I am working on a 74. The lower bolt (the one with the 1-1/8" castle nut on it) was loose. From the factory it is welded to the axle housing. That weld had broken and the bolt had a lot of movement to it. I discovered it while taking the track bar off to replace bushings in it. Check the upper mount as well for any movement or broken welds.

yep...longer. which is a great thing IMO. you may want to call them and ask what lift bushing you should run on those arms. im sure they have some caster built into them(most arms do) those will look sweet!!! are you sending your arms back to them for the core? ya gonna have the same guy install them or do this work yourself?

I have a set of arms you can send in place of yours. Just give me yours when you have the new ones installed. That way you wont loose any road time. These came off my 73, nothing wrong w/ them. I was thinking of powndercoating them, just haven't done it yet.
