| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2007 jk with 3,000 miles. From the very beginning, it has had the violent, shaking, uncontrollable problem referred to as the "death wobble." although this seems to be common, i hardly think this is acceptable. I have been through three different suspension systems, have rotated my tired religiously (every oil change), have replaced three steering stabilizers, and now i am completely at a loss of new ideas. I have changed bushings, bearings, tightened the track bar, and tried every different adjustment to think of. Nothing has worked. When the death wobble occurs, i am completely out of control inside the vehicle and fear for the safety of my passengers, normally my wife and my five year old daughter. The dealership has nothing to offer, local suspension shops are at a loss, and obviously my experience pales in comparison. There has to be some way to repair this problem? |
