Death Wobble (again)
It's time for some front end work. I'm tired of hitting bumps
and having to slow way down for the front end to stop bouncing. Should I start with the steering dampener or sway bar links? '97 SE with a whopping 69100 miles on it. (Yes, it's been off road and has trail rash underneath!) |
Take to a shop that may recognize the worn parts:

Tire's often 'trigger' Death Wobble but something else MUST also be
loose enough to allow it to develop into full-blown death wobble. Loose trackbar, worn control arm bushings, etc. Jerry IsellJeeps wrote: > try tires 1st > > > "Scott in Baltimore" > wrote in message > ... > >>It's time for some front end work.

I have rplaced tires on numerous wranglers due to this and I havent had to
go back and do trackbars...stabilizers etc... 99% of the time people dont rotate their tires correctly therefor they cup or get out of round..I buy jeeps all the time where tires are shot and the steering wheel litterally jumps out of my hand when I hit a bump while driving them.... goto 4 wheel parts or tire wheel connection.. buy pro comp all terrains or mud kings and whoaallla no more wobble "Jerry Bransford" > wrote in message news:6n7Fe.19627$Eo.10034@fed1read04... > Tire's often 'trigger' Death Wobble but something else MUST also be > loose enough to allow it to develop into full-blown death wobble.

Whatever... but I deal with this stuff all the time and a suspension
that does not have a worn or loose part will not allow DW to fully develop just simply a bad tire. Just having a bad tire or tires should NOT cause Death Wobble, sheesh... come on. Replacing tires might get rid of enough of the problem so the Death Wobble goes away but the other part of the equation still remains. Replacing the tires alone just leave the other part of the problem there to come back and bite the owner again if another minor tire problem crops up. You may SELL Jeeps and replace tires but I actually resolve the entire problem... not just replace tires.

You can "lol" all you want and no one except you mentioned anything
about recommending replacing the steering stabilizer. Typical fawking salesdroid who thinks he knows more than he does..
