| Description of the problem | Experienceing the well known death wobble in front suspension at speeds around 50 mph. Have tried multiple fixes yet condition still remains. Also will go into death wobble at other speeds if hit a pothole or bridge to road gap, hump or bump in road. This jeep has no custom modifications. 2009 jeep wrangler with only 26000 miles, new tires, have experienced this death wobble shortly after purchasing it new from the dealer. I also own ram trucks and fixed the death wobble on my 2005 ram with new track bar bushings. Bushings in my 2009 jeep show no play at all. |
