 Description of the problemThis vehicle has "death wobble" as it has been called. When driving at highway speeds and hitting a bump, bridge joint, or imperfection in the road, the front end violently shakes. If loosen grip on wheel it gets worse. It will continue for miles shaking the vehicle excessively. Only way to stop the shaking is to slow to about 50 mph. Started at about 12, 400 miles. Took to shop and their guy called it death wobble. The more you drive the worse it gets, and in nov about 14th or so they had me come in and put a aftermarket hd steering stabilizer on it. It worked for about 1500 miles then the wobble returned. I reported it and on the 17th dec they had me come in and put factory stabilizer bar on and toed in my front alignment. That worked for two days. Wobble came back and i reported it. The more i drive the worse it gets. I went to shop on 31 dec to see what we are doing. They said they would get back to me. Problem is not stabilizers and toe alignment. Geometric and something is wearing out causing all this. The effectiveness of stabilizers are lasting less each time. Band aid for the bigger issue. I have owned 18 jeeps and have 4 currently, all wrangler/tj/cj. None have done this or do this. Modified or not. And this new 2018 jl is stock.
