| Description of the problem | Well i have a 2008 jeep wrangler x. When i get to 50 mph i experience extreme "death wobble" as its often called. My vehicle will shake to the point that it feel like either the axel is going to snap or the wheels will shoot off in opposite directions. It is very scary. Its does it roughly 8 out of 10 times at 50mph. It started after having the jeep for about 4 months and my dealership tried once to fix the problem after they diagnosed it as the front stabilizer. It continued after they replaced that and from that standpoint told me it was the tires and they wouldn't cover new tires after once telling me they had fixed the issue. I now have to avoid the highway in fear of death. It is honestly resembles of a 8 or 9 on the richter scale. |
