Description of the problem	2008 jeep wrangler sahara stock. Violent wobble. "death wobble" while traveling at highway speed, 60mph, i crossed over an expansion crack for a bridge. The front end of the jeep began a violent wobble back and forth until slowing down to approximately 10 mph. This wobble almost contributed to a head on collision with a tractor trailer in the opposing traffic due to an almost complete loss of steering capability. The problem happened again at the same speed after another small bump. This is an extremely dangerous situation. After researching the problem further, there are endless factors that trigger the wobble. Each problem may be fixed, but it will only provide a temporary solution.
