| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 jeep wrangler rubicon. I've been experiencing death wobble, where the whole front end of the vehicle shakes violently and wheels actually wobble. I have replaced shocks, steering stabilizer, rotated and balanced tires and had the front end aligned and checked by a car dealers service dept. The wobble lessens but still persists. It occurs at 40 mph or above. No one has been able to fully explain a sure fix for the problem. My jeep has been very well maintained and has 57,000 miles. Jeep/chrysler are no help in fixing this potentially deadly problem. |
