Ok. We're creating a thread on death wobble to sticky. Anyone who want to post here and lists causes of death wobble, what to check for to resolve death wobble, etc., please post your input. I will take all replies to this thread and edit them into one single posting and credit each member that provided input in the final posting, which will be located right here.There will be a link from each jeep category to this posting.

I appreciate all of your help.

Please post them up!!!!

I just wrote out a list of things to consider, and timed out. What is up with that?

Do I need to write it out on Word, and add it as an attachment?

I don't know of any time out. Kyle might be the one to ask about that.

However you want to do it is cool though. I can fix it all when we have sufficient info for the sticky and clean out all of this then too.

trackbar, alignment, tire rotation, balancing, steering parts, tighten everything...all things to check when DW occurs

Somebody's been taking notes.............. WTG.......bigjeep!

lol...thanks...im tryin

Here is a fairly concise and yet detailed article on DW

http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/dw.html

Very good article, I like it, and it is in plain English. Good find, Dare2BSquare!!!

Great link. I'll check into it.

ok. I'm just adding this in to let yall know I have emailed and am waiting to get a response.

Can you ever cure DW or will it always comeback at some point?

i think that there are cures for it...sometimes there are things that only mask the problem but i think it can be gotten rid of

I sure hope so. So I have moved to another shop to help me out now. I am putting on the adj. trackbar and I am going to have them align it also. Should I get the tires rotated and rebalanced also? There are about 400 miles on the tires so do I really need to rotate them? I just want to get this stuff done before I have to drive 200 miles to school in 2 weeks and i dont want death wobble while going 70.

I'd say if you have only 400 miles on the tires then there's probably no need to rotate them. However I would suggest getting a good balance done on them. They might be perfectly balanced, but it's worth it to have them run'em again to be sure. You shouldn't have to pay anything for it if you just had tires put on.

When your mechanic is putting on the adj. trac bar have them tighten up everything else in the front end also. Not a bad idea if you have to drive that far on a regular basis.

OK. I received and email from the site owner in response to my request. I will have update soon. I can't make this decision on my own. I have to check with the rest of the admin and moderator team.

I'm going to unstick this thread now due to I don't think we'll need a sticky here at all.

Don't be suprised if there is a recall real soon on 06 Wranglers. I took my TJ in for the infamous "death Wobble" and the service manager told me there could be a major recall in the works. Let's see what happens.

Huh? Are you stock?

you're lucky, the dealer here wouldn't even look at my jeep after I said death wobble. I had dw recently and it was the tie rod ends & tie rod that were the cause. I upgraded to the big daddy tie rod and used the original tre's. As soon as I did that I had a shimmy. Wheelin' one day I hear & feel a thunk in my steering wheel, checked and nothing looked out of place. on the road full on dw. took it to dealer, they looked and tightend everything and sent me on my way. took to 4wheel parts and they found that the original tre on passenger side had been "pushed" in (it fixed my alignment). now here's where it was probably my fault, as I installed the tie rod I did not have one of the jam nuts (driver's side) installed

OK. Here's what I've done. In each tech forum, CJ, YJ, and CJ, there is now a sticky that links directly to the yuccaman site and his death wobble page. I emailed the gentleman and he was very gracious about letting us link to it.

When someone comes in and ask about death wobble, please feel free to refer them to the sticky so that they may see the information.

Keep in mind, Wrangler Forum is based on "we will answer all questions"! No one should ever be told to "look it up" or "do the research". The sticky is not to replace real conversation, but just act as a tool that can be refered to.

Special thanks to yuccaman. Check out his site. It's cool.
