Description of the problem	I have heard rumors about massive front-end shimmy happening on '07 and newer jeep wranglers, but never had any trouble. Starting last week the slightest road irregularity causes the front wheels of my jeep to shimmy back and forth violently, with lack of directional control. Inspection could find no defects visual to the eye, but i have had to quit driving my jeep. This vehicle and others that may be showing this same problem will lead to fatalities...... I am a professional motor vehicle repairman and have never seen this severe shimmy before.
