 Description of the problemThe past couple years i've noticed my jeep having a wobble while crossing 60mph, below 57 it stopped above 63 it stopped. I had new tires and balance completed. The wobble was still present. While driving down a 4-5% grade on state route 285 (4 lane divided highway most of the way) i touched the brakes and the front end started to violently wobble.. Enough to rip the steering wheel from my hands. This almost put me into oncoming traffic. The wobble finally stopped at 25mph. The tires chirped in tune to the vibration. I have to assume from loss of contact with the road. The vehicle jerked side to side during this wobbling. Once stopped i checked under the front end and only noted that my stabilizer was now leaking fluid and was bent. This happened around july 18th with my 8 year old in the vehicle. Once i was able to get the vehicle back to town i took off the old track bar, did this due to the overwhelming number of posts on the internet. I took off the original bar and noted the back side of the upper and lower brackets "hollowed out" or oblonged. I removed the track bar and placed the bolts back into the mounts and wiggled them to assess if the mounts were out of round. I noted the bottom back mounting hole had approx. 1/4 inch of movement and the top back mounting hole had 1/8 inch of movement. I am currently seeing a jeep certified mechanic to have stainless steel washers added to the brackets to eliminate the source of the shaking. The mechanic stated this is a known issue that the brackets were made thinner then previous years. He also stated the "washer" fix is also a known solution to this issue. However i noted there isn't a smooth pivot surface on the bolts they are threaded and ate into the steel insert in the track bar bushing. I expected to find a bolt with a smooth surface for the bushing to ride on and threaded end for the nut.
