 Description of the problemI purchased a used 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited on july 11, 2013. It had just under 10k miles on it. Within the first few days of driving it, i hear and feel a thump in the steering, while driving. It is not a normal noise from suspension working. The issue has gone on and on. Later at about 18k miles, i began having death wobble issues. I have had it to 2 shops and inspected things myself. Ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods/ends, steering stabilizer, you name it. I finally after several scary events, and continually having shops tell me there is nothing wrong, have found the issue. With 25k miles, i am having to have the steering gear box replaced. The sector shaft is shot. The steering wheel is all over the place. This is my daily driver, so unfortunately i have no option but to drive it and hope i make it to and from safely, as well as the other drivers on the road. I believe after a lot of research on the jeep forums, that jeep has a problem with the gear box, and that it is one of the common causes of death wobble in the jk models. I am taking mine in tomorrow to have it replaced. I have only 25k miles on it, but it is 4yrs old. So, i am sure i will end up stuck with the bill on this.
