Description of the problem	Death wobble on a 2008 jeep wrangler. Vehicle has a predictable vibration between 55-60 mph. On one occasion, the vehicle shook so violently that it took the steering wheel out of my wife's hands. She was going around 55 mph around a curve. On a second occasion, i was slowing down to take an exit ramp. Slowing from 75 mph to around 60 mph and entering the exit ramp curve, the steering wheel was almost shaken out of my hands. On a third occasion, at around 60 mph on a straight road with no bumps, the jeep began to shake violently and again pulled the steering wheel out of another drivers hands. The minor vibration happens everyday between 55-60 mph. The dealership says nothing is wrong. I have replaced the steering stabilizer with a rancho heavy duty stabilizer. Vibration went away for about 500 miles. I religiously do a 5 tire rotation and balance. No change. I have had a 4 wheel alignment completed. No change. Jeep will not drive the vehicle. They say if there is a vibration to have the tires balanced and the front end aligned. When i tell them that has been done, their reply is that it was not completed properly and they would do it for $300. I am getting to the point of selling or trading it in since i cannot fix the issue. I am almost ready to try to replace ball joints, but at 47,700 miles and no suspension or engine modifications. The jeep has never been off-roaded, never been mistreated. What now? Jeep also offered to replace the ball joints, pitman arm, tie rod ends, sway bar end links, etc. For a nice sum of the $2500. Ouch.
