hello the last few times ive drove my xj in the rain it has had death wobble above 35mph but when it is dry it is fine. dose anyone have any suggestions?

 

bald tires maybe?

 

sounds more like a hydroplane than a death wobble to me

 

x2 mine does the same thing some times

 

well the tires are almost new. and i can go thrue standing water without a problem. the tires clear the water fine. it dose not feel like hydro plaining at all the wheel shakes back and forth very hard. but it go's away if i slow down.

 

does it only do it when you hit a bump and its wet? or just wet

 

i would suggest the norm check list
check all tie rod ends ball joints check bolts on control arms etc.

 

i still dont see how wet pavement will cause DW. it doesn't. you have an underlying issue with your rig that probably has only showed its face when it was raining out. check all the basics. do a DW search

 

x2

 

it could be coincidence. but it has done it just in the rain not when hitting bumps. i have checked balljoints and tre's and controll arm bolts and bushings. could it be the axle u joints?

 

Any lift? If so check your CASTER angle!!!

 

no it is stock ride height. just drove it yesterday. ad it up to highway speed. hit i nice pothole in the highway and not a wobble or shake at all.

 

axle ujoints have nothing to do with DW.

then nothing is wrong with it. take it to a shop when its raining then

 

ok i guess the only thing to do is have it re aligned? i have not personally had it aligned since i have only had it since the 12th. so i guess it would be a good thing to do anyway. i know it was mentioned about caster if it was lifted but it could just be out of alignment right? im just confused about this thing.
