 Description of the problemI experienced rapid steering oscillation this last thursday 10/17/19 on my *new 2018 wrangler jlu (not lifted) while taking a trip out of town. We hit a railroad track at around 55 mph and it went full-on rapid steering oscillation (death wobble). Had to pull off the road and stop the vehicle for the dw to stop. Stopped by an out of town dealer in paso robles, ca and they said the recently replaced (recall v41) steering stabilizer was installed upside down. I have now ordered a new rubicon express track bar and fox 2. 0 stabilizer to see if this will help eliminate the wobble. I've owned two jk jeep wranglers in the past and didn't experience any of oscillation. *purchased new 2018 jlu wrangler from dealer last month. The mileage at the time of the event was approximately 1,400 miles.
