| Description of the problem | While traveling at 75 mph in the left lane i wandered over the yellow line and the left front tire ran over the indented 'wake up' impressions in the asphalt at which time my front end began violently shaking like i was driving a jack hammer. I began to brake and made it across 6 lanes of traffic before i could come to a stop. The shaking did not stop until i came to a stop. I inspected the front end components and all were fine. I slowly drove off and the problem no longer existed. This problem is 'death wobble' and is all over jeep message forums on the internet. |
