| Description of the problem | Commonly called "jeep death wobble". Driving on a straight road at approximately 45 mph my steering wheel started to shake slightly, then became worse. Within about 5 seconds my wheel was shaking so badly that i couldn't hold the wheel. I did all i could to slow and pull the vehicle onto the shoulder. I found nothing wrong and went back on my way with no further issues. My vehicle is a stock jeep with the only difference being newer tires (stock size) that are in good condition. |
