Description of the problem	I have been experiencing the "death wobble" in my jeep, and it is terrifying. When driving anywhere from 40-65 mph, the front end will occasionally begin to shake violently and it feels as if the vehicle is out of control. The only way to stop it is to immediately slow way down and try to get off the road (difficult in many conditions). I recently took it in to the jeep dealership and they "fixed" the problem by replacing the ball joints, the steering damper, and the front shocks ($1,700). It seemed to be ok for about 2 1/2 months, but it has happened again several times in the last two weeks. I can't afford to buy a new vehicle at this time, but the "death wobble" is a very dangerous condition (especially when going 60 mph down the highway!), and i don't know what to do.
