| Description of the problem | When hitting a pothole, bridge connection, or other large bump at speeds of 60+ mph, the steering wheel and vehicle shake violently. This requires a drastic reduction of speed on the highway, along with tight control of the steering wheel. The speed reduction is potentially dangerous to you and other vehicles near you, let alone the violent shaking of the vehicle causing potential mechanical problems and human error. Quick fix at jeep dealership replacing stabilizer acts as a band aid without any actual solution to the issue. |
