Description of the problem	While driving my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited on a two lane road at about 45 miles per hour i hit a pothole and suddenly there was a violent shaking in the front end of the vehicle. The steering wheel turned from side to side uncontrollably for a couple of seconds and i could feel the entire vehicle being turned from side to side as thought the front tires were wobbling back and forth from left to right. The only way to stop it was to hit the brakes and slow the vehicle. In the past few weeks i have felt a looseness in the steering when i hit a bump or pothole in the road but this time it was violent and sustained and nearly caused me to cross the center line into oncoming traffic. Took the vehicle to my jeep dealer and was informed that this is a common problem with jeep from suspension and that the technician himself had experienced it in his own jeep. He made the comment that there should be a recall on it. In the end they needed to replace the steering damper, traction bar, bushings, and brackets. Conveniently these items are specifically excluded from the extended warranty that is sold as "bumper-to-bumper". Supposedly this even has a nickname, "death-wobble".
