 Description of the problemDeath wobble!!!! Started about dec 2011 around speeds of 55-60 mph. Car will suddenly start to violently shake. When viewing from behind in another car it appears as if the wheels may come off. I have replaced the shocks, struts, stabilizer bar, track bar, springs, spacers, calipers, hubs, new tires, balance and rotate tire every 5000-6000 miles, new front brakes, new back brakes, two rear alignments, 3 front alignments, and rotors, i death wobble has gone from bad to dangerously worse. My wrangler is a factory right hand drive jeep that i use to deliver mail. I was using as my primary car as well. I must drive 25 miles to work via interstate and then another 65 miles on my route. The car consistently shakes when i hit speeds of 45 mph or higher. A bump in the road will trigger the wobble as well. I spoke to two different jeep dealerships today and was told that there is no solution to my problem. I have been to at least 6 different mechanic shops, one off road shop, and two different alignment shops. I was told that i could try replacing the gear box ($899. 99) and also try replacing my rims! If the maker of my vehicle has no idea on what or how to fix it........ Then who will? I would like to resolve my death wobble. I am extremely annoyed! I no longer feel safe driving my car to and from work and when it rains i am a nervous wreck just knowing i will have to drive my jeep on the interstate. Sadly its gotten to the point that i will not allow any of my kids in this vehicle. I end up having to leave my jeep at work in another town if my husband isn't able to drive it to and from work for me. I am willing to fix the problem....... If jeep would just let me know what that is!!!! In good conscious i could never sell and stick someone else with this problem/headache!! Also, when i fill my jeep up with gas, it overflows splashing gas everywhere!
