| Description of the problem | I had already experienced the death wobble in my jeep prior to today's date, i had everything under the front end tightened and the front track bar replaced, cost, approximately 700 dollars. The track bar was replaced april 30 2015, today may 1 2015 i got on the highway ramp as soon. As i hit 65 and a bump the jeep began to go into a violent shaking. In order to maintain control i had to grip the steering wheel very tight, white knuckle, and pull off to the side of the highway during morning rush hour. After coming to a complete stop the wobble stopped. I bright to jeep and the said probably the steering. The called me later and said it was the upper lower ball joints, tie rods, alignment, and steering. 2200 bucks. For a car that's only a few years old no reason something like the ball joints should be that worn or that i should experience a death wobble in the first place. I don't off road, my car is not lifted. Jeep is not willing to pay any of the repair even thought the car is like brand new. |
