| Description of the problem | I have had the "death wobble" in the front end of my 2008 jeep wrangler happen twice in the last couple of weeks while on a busy freeway. I have nearly crashed both times as i was in heavy traffic and could not move over to the side of the road. I am frightened to drive it and wonder how many fatal car accidents have occurred due this terrible wobble that bounces the front end up and down. |
