| Description of the problem | New 2018 wrangler jl sport with 1500 miles. Reporting that when i ride over a bump, such as a transition from pavement to an overpass, at a speed greater than 55 or 60 mph, the front end violently shakes / wobbles as what i hear other describe as a death wobble. This forces me to reduce speed to as low as 20 mph for the wobble to cease. This happens each day as i drive the same route to work and therefore drive over the same overpass. Relevant is that the bump within the transition from pavement to overpass is not what i would consider a significant bump. |
