So i just replaced a loose tie rod end and steering stabilizer. my steering feels much tighter now, yet im continuing to have problems with the friggin death wobble. it occurs when im going 35-45 mph. if the road is smooth enough i can cruise doin 65 but its when i hit a bump or theres a rough patch of road that its starts to shake. any suggestions...?

 

Have you checked the tire balancing or alignment? Is your track bar nice and tight? As soon as I tighten up my track bar, replaced the tie rod, drang link, tr ends, got a balancing and alignment my death wobble is gone.

 

You didn't do a search did you? I'm sure this forum is 75% threads on DW.

 

Well as far as this subjet is concerned if you ask 100 people you get 100 diff answers, for me after replaceing TRE's and tighten the track bar and replacing the steering stabilizer it still wobbled. Tore it apart today and it turns out lower ball joint was toasted. replaced and seems to drive fine. we'll see how it goes over the next 100 miles.

 

Good possibility it is the track bar.

 

some info on the jeep/lift and tire setup you have would be a good start. if you went from under 3" of lift to over 4.5, that could be your problem right there. the higher you go on stock control arms, the worse the ride/angle is going to be. what size tires are you running? are they new? are they used? did you have them balanced? these are all things that could help us possibly diagnose your problem. most of the time it is your trac bar. if you have a lift over 3" you want to get an adjustable one for that height. also if your wheel bearings are bad enough this could cause wobble when turning. ujoints also.

 

well when i bought the jeep about a year and a half ago the previous owner had put a 3 inch rough country lift on it. i put some beefier tires on about 6 months after i had it and it wasnt until about a month ago that i started having problems with it. it shook a few tines here n there until i put on a new steering stabilizer but im guessing that just masked the problem

 

seriously
