Alright, Friday I picked up a 1997 jeep wrangler sport with 142,xxx. I always drove Chevrolet full size trucks but it got totaled. I had to get a vehicle, By doing so I sold my 450 bike to get one. What better way to keep your interest and summer fun of the woods by keeping it there trading 2...

So a few months back I experienced a death wobble and needless to say, it wasnt fun. I had my 07 JKU looked at by the shop that did my lift (Pro Comp 2.5 with Bilstein 5100 shocks) and they ended up replacing the failed steering stabalizer that had busted. Since then I have not had anymore...

So I have had my 2.5" rough country lift on since January and in about June my jeep death wobbled once but didn't think anything of it because it only happened once. Well lately it has been happening very violently and I took it to a shop, they drove it, and then saw my front drive shaft was...

Okay I'm posting here cause I know sum1 has done the same exact thing I have and ran into the same problem and knows the solution before I dump a lot of money into here and play where's Waldo but looking for the cause of death wobble... So I put a shitty brand new 2.5" rough country lift in my...

So I recently bought a Jeep Wrangler 2004 sport has 140,000 miles with some 35" mud terrains and a 4" lift and its a automatic. So the problem is whenever im driving and i reach about 55 mph it begins to shake and vibrate and you can feel it like if you have something in the passenger seat it...

my 93 wrangler shakes horribly between 20 and 40 mph. I feel it most in the steering wheel but also in the floor, seat, gas pedal. upon inspection of my driveshaft I found that my rear yolk was bad along with the u joint, replaced both thinking this was my vibration as it goes away when clutch...

I've been getting a weird wobble whenever I turn right, and especially when I'm traveling 40-45. It's weird because it doesn't happen when i turn left and as soon as I cut the wheel back the wobble stops. I had replaced the passenger side ball joint a few weeks ago. When this started happening I...

Heeeey! So I have a stock 2004 Wrangler, I've been the only owner and about 3 years ago it started doing the dance of DEATH on the highway, that death wobble between 45 and 55. It was clearly visible from the outside and was strong enough to shake some of the bolts loose on the hard top. Scary...

Hi all, I just recently began experiencing the blessing of a gift that we call the death wobble....:banghead:....but I'm only an 18 year old kid without much experience when it comes to vehicle repair. I was reading up on the wobble and I took a look front end to check and see if things were...

Hi, all This is my first post here, so I'll begin with a thanks to all those who have contributed to this forum over the past years - I, being less than mechanically inclined, have been able to keep my '06 TJ running well for several years, and over 120K miles, thanks to the content of this...

Hey Forum, I just installed a 2.5" teraflex lift as well as new tires and wheels on my JK less than 600 miles ago, and am now experiencing a little bit of wobble whenever I go over a bump or hit a pothole at low speeds. This wobble has gotten significantly worse over time, but it really only...

Hey guys, I experienced an episode of death wobble the other day and the problem has been identified as a bad steering gear box (leaking), and both ends of the draglink. There are no signs of wear on the track bar, tie rod or ball joints yet. I need a new draglink and would like to eventually...

I am looking for some advice, I hesitate to post in an open forum because i know there will be many different opinions. I've read through numerous threads on the varying issues here, so it will be interesting to see what you guys think. I'm not too proficient with posting on here, but I've...

Give me a break, I'm new to Jeeps! :dance:

Kill me now.:banghead: Advice?

I experienced the death wobble first hand and it was not fun. The odd thing is that most information you find on the internet says it normally comes on at higher speeds. Mine happened as I was accelerating (not hard) from an intersection and I wasn't going much more than 30mph. Felt like the...

:thumb:I was hoping to see some pictures of pictures of a JK on 2.5" teraflex BB running 33s. I am hoping to upgrade to this soon. My only concern is death wobble. Would this be a problem and how can i prevent it? Thank you for helping me! I am new at this :thumb:

Hey guys. So I just finished installing my lift this weekend, Zone's 1.25" BL + 3" SL + 1" MML Combo. Everything went relatively smoothly, and as far as I know I torqued everything down to either factory specs, or the specs that Zone's instructions gave me for their hardware. Prior to lifting...
