 Description of the problemI have a 2008 jeep wrangler 2 door. I recently noticed the "death wobble" occasionally at around 40 mph. While driving my young son, all was fine and smooth and then all of a sudden the front end started violently shaking and banging around. It steered itself off the road, luckily into a parking lot, but i was still going about 35 mph. I had to pull the emergency brake to get it stopped before slamming into a parked vehicle. Upon inspection of the front end, i found that my front trac bar bracket welds had broken from the front axle. Had i been in a curve, the front axle would have slid out from under the vehicle! This would have been catastrophic and would have totaled the jeep and most likely caused serious injuries. I have since spoken to a couple of buddies that have the same model wranglers. They both had the same issue! I called my dealership, but they said they have never heard of this and it must have been a freak deal. This is the same response my buddies got from the same dealership!
