Description of the problem	Hi, apparently my situation isn't unique, i have a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited with less than 70k miles. At about 50mph it starts shaking violently, this has happened to me at least 5 times since i've owned this jeep, about 2 1/2 months. I took it to the tire shop and they inspected the tie-rod ends and found no problem. It was shaking so bad i thought that surely my front end was coming apart so, i googled my problem and was led to a plethora of information and found the term "death wobble", i thought it felt like driving over railroad tracks, but death wobble seems to also be an appropriate term as well, because the front end seems to be shaking to death. I, like so many others, went to kevin's off road, kor, website and read about the potential causes and cures. In my particular case there hasn't been any aftermarket modifications, it's as stock as they come. Anyway, kevin's recommended solution to my "wobble" is to replace the track bar, the steering damper, control arms and bushings. The cost for this is around $366 for the parts and i'm not sure what the labor costs will be. It seems to me that maybe someone at chrysler should actually go drive one before they say "it's not our fault". They should be part of the solution since they created the problem. My 1989 jeep doesn't have this problem, leaf springs vs. Independent coil springs, perhaps,... A smoother ride but at what cost? $366 plus labor for me. Can you please help apply pressure to chrysler to make this right? Thanks for your time and interest.
