| Description of the problem | Have a 2006 jeep wrangler with 24,000 miles which is experiencing front wheel shaking at about 40-45 mph and when braking. Alignment, tires, etc. Are good with no aftermarket modifications done to suspension. This appears to be a very common problem with wranglers and is even called and known as a "death wobble." no crashes, but dealer will charge to investigate and fix. As mentioned, this appears to be a very common problem with wranglers, therefore, isn't it a manufacturing flaw that jeep needs to take responsibility for? |
