Description of the problem	The problem is violent front end vibration when vehicle is operated between 45mph-55mph. The vibration is so intense it causes the steering wheel and front end to vibrate violently. This problem has occurred numerous times over 5 years of operation and especially after tire changes. I have had 2 different sets of tires on this jeep which were balanced and have continued to have this problem. In the past i overcame this problem by rotating the tires until i found the tire orientation that gave the least amount of violent vibration i had thought that i may have had a hairline fracture on one of the rims but after installing new rims and the third set of tires the problem is back and as bad as ever. Out of frustration i turned to the internet to find out if their are any other jeep wrangler owners experiencing this problem. To my surprise after reading several internet forums on jeep wranglers many do . This problem even has a name the jeep community has given it the "death wobble" ! The problem seems to occur in the 96-06 tj body style which includes the sahara,x and sport editions. There are numerous possible causes and repairs that people have come up with but it seems as no one has pinpointed the correct repair. The recommended repairs suggest the traction bar and steering stabilizer are at fault but people have had mixed results replacing these parts. It appears to me that the people at jeep must know about this problem but have failed their customers at remedying this hazardous problem.
