We all know about Death Wobble.
I've experienced it a few times since I lifted my ZJ at 70+ mph. Was never too severe...slow down and it goes away...
But today (just a couple hours ago), driving home down 285 around Aspen Park at 55, it kicked in BIG time. Worse than anything I've had before. Front wheels where hoppin all over the road so bad that there was smoke comin off of em. Felt like the front end was fallin off. Barely held my lane.
Slow down to 20, and it goes away.
Start to accelerate again, and at 40 it come back with a vengence.
WTF says I.
Pull over, climb out, look under the front end....lo and behold, my friggin track bar is just hanging there, attached only to the frame side :brickwall
Ironically, I was planning on putting an adjustable track bar in this weekend, and it was in the back of the Jeep (of course my tools, nor a replacement nut/bolt where not)...
Limp it down down a little farther at 20 mph to Grant Automotive on 285 near Turkey Creek, and walk in (4:30 Friday afternoon, mind you) hoping they could do something for me. An hour (and $64.50) later, my adjustable track bar is installed, and I make it home in one peice.
Thanks Grant Automotive :cheers2:
