| Description of the problem | While driving down the road at 60mph+ my jeep goes into the death wobble when i hit a rough patch in the road. This is not a bump in the road but a rough patch! This has happened to me many times and it is extremely scary! I have to slow down to around 40mph to make it stop shaking side to side so violently i can hardly keep it on the road. I have already been in and had the upgrade done to my steering damper. I have no modifications on my jeep... I drive it as purchased. This recently happened on the interstate while driving 70 mph in the passing lane in heavy traffic... I |
