| Description of the problem | My jeep wrangler is experiencing a " death wobble" when i travel between 55-60mph the front end of my jeep shakes uncontrollably. This occurs when i hit a small bump but also seems to be occurring even on flat pavement. My jeep has stock parts and has never been off roaded. I belong to a jeep community and know numerous other individuals who have had this same problem some dating back to the 1990s. It seems an ongoing issue like this would have warranted an investigation and a product recall on the flawed parts. |
