at slow speeds i have death wobble (steering wheel shaking left to right un controllable) usually this happens with a bump i have this just drivin slow and am forced to speed up fast or lock up tires. i have a 98xj with 39" not balanced and heim drag link new track bar little play in control arm heim factory steering stabilizer?
i dont think it is tire balance and its just a little play in the one long arm heim!
has anyone have and idea or way of diagnosing this??
