Description of the problem	My jeep experiences what's known as the "death wobble." it has happened for years, but i had always been told that my tires were out of balance, or that i needed a front wheel alignment. Those fixes would help for a couple of months, and then the shake would return. Just in the last 6-8 months did a mechanic actually tell me about the wobble, what really seems to cause it, and that it's a known issue with jeeps. My jeep is stock, with no modifications, but i still get the wobble. It occurred 3 times this morning on the 5 freeway in san diego county, each time at speeds between 55-68 miles per hour. The front end of the jeep shakes violently, and the only way to stop the shaking is to come to a complete stop. Luckily, i've always been able to pull over safely to the shoulder of the freeway. A few months ago it happened, and a co-worker was following me in a different vehicle. He said my front tires were actually smoking because of the way the tires moved on the freeway.
