  1. JK Wrangler Technical Forum
    I'm really sorry, guys. I'm sure you get a thread like this several times a week, but searching for my questions has proved fairly daunting (though the FAQs have some great information). I've never owned a Wrangler before, but I've driven a few and like pretty-much the whole experience. I love...
  2. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hi, I am new to owning a Jeep. I am trying to do all of the work on it myself as well. I have a back and forth wobble on the drivers rear side. I replaced the bearings and in the process noticed that there was play in the axle, in and out movement. Afterwards, I still have a wobble and now the...

    info: 2007 jku, 35" ATA, automatic, looks almost new, and has 52k miles. Driving fast on freeway has no effect, it runs smooth at high speeds. I have this problem where only when i hit a bump, i get a major WOD, so bad i thought my wheel was falling off at first. I have to stop asap for it to...

    Hey, guys. Last weekend I put a 2" BDS SL (springs and shocks) on my '04 X. It went on fairly easily and I didn't run into any issues, which is amazing considering I have no idea what the hell I'm doing... Gotta learn somehow, right? I've got a 1.25" BL and a 1" MM on there as well. I'm...
  5. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Just had the frame straightened after I got into an accident. Now I'm having a problem with my front wheel wobbling. It only does it between 35-50mph and only when turning to the left. It appears to be the drivers side wheel causing the problem. Not sure if this is the infamous death wobble as...
  6. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Recently I lifted my 99 wrangler 4". Replaced the tie rods and got it Aligned. It rides smooth until I hit 40mph then it wobbles a bit but once I hit 50mph it stops. Also after I hit a bump it likes to go all over the place. Last but not least when I make a sharp turn it makes a snapping noise...
  7. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    my cherokee recently got an upgrade on wheels and tires and i am noticing even more wobble and play in the steering and going over bumps on the road than ever before. I have a roughcountry trackbar w/ drop bracket and have replaced all of my balljoints and Ujoints in the front axle. The trackbar...
  8. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Today I experienced death wobble for the first time on the way to get my daughter from school. I have read about it and kind of wondered. My god. Each time my jeep reached 40MPH the oscillation would start, and I was forced to quickly slow down to 15MPH or so to stop the jumping around. The...
  9. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    I recently bough a 2005 Wrangler Rocky Mountain Edition. It developed a vibration in the steering wheel that was no where near a death wobble but still concerning. I immediately put an aftermarket stabilizer on and it just changed the speed that it occurred. I laid under the jeep while a buddy...
  10. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    I've primarily only owned Wranglers and each one has had the death wobble at around 45-55mph. We decided to purchase a really nice 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited. It's a beaut. Then we noticed after about 2 months of driving particularly on freeway... When we would slow down and the Odometer...
  11. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    Im getting a small vibration on the highway only at about 45 mph and up and its not felt in the steering wheel. I have spent the last 4 months replacing things and I have even brought it to the dealer and a small shop that does custom vehicle work and no one can seem to pin point this. So far...

    My 2012 Rubicon Unlimited has 92,000 miles and experienced severe death wobble when I hit a small bump at 55 mph a little over 2 weeks ago. When I purchased the jeep 3 years ago I bought the Maximum Care Unlimited Mileage Lifetime Warranty and way overpaid at $3,400.00, but that's another...
  13. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    My Jeep TJ has recently started having an issue where it will feel like it is floating or getting blown around in a strong wind... I will be driving along--sometimes only at 35mph (but more often at 55+)--and the body will start swaying around for a moment, but if I change speed or anything, it...

    It's a 1999 jeep Wrangler sport with a 4.0 5 sp with lift not sure how much or what kind it has 35" tires a warren winch a soft top it has 124k miles. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Spoke to the seller this evening and he is telling me it does a wobble when going down the road and the fan...
  15. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    I have just spent most of the last 3 months worth of weekends replacing my front end components. All U joints, all ball joints, even the steering knuckle because my brake holes were stripped. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why my jeep wont ride 100% smooth on the freeway. Sometimes...
  16. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hey Guys, We all know that every Jeep is different. But I wanted to post this in order to help anybody out that's running a 2" BDS coil kit on their TJ, that ran into a horrible case of intermittent bump-steer. After reading about guys running 2" BDS and OME kits, I didn't hear about too many...
  17. JK Wrangler Technical Forum
    This is a follow-up to a previous thread. I recently experienced "death wobble." Tried fixing it with a new steering damper...no dice. Brought it to Jeep dealer today, and they said an hour-long inspection didn't turn up any clear problems. Their advice is to replace my tires, which do seem to...

    Have my 2010 JKU (36,500 miles) at the dealership, hoping they can correctly diagnose and fix the cause of my death wobble, which appeared out of nowhere a couple weeks ago and now reappears every time I get on the highway. Awful. Brought it to a local tire shop and they were confident that...

    What's up JF, I decided to make a thread about my new to me 2005 LJ. Not even 4 weeks ago I had been enjoying my '98 TJ when it would finally lose the fight against rust. Having done an axle swap on it the previous year (rust induced), and with the frame in its condition, the only viable...
  20. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Replacing my front control arms, the bushings are looking bad and has crazy shake when crossing RR tracks or washboard (like come to a stop to stop the shake, kind of shake). Where do I find the bushings that go into the top axle mounts? the control arm comes with the back bushing in it, but...
