Do a search here .... this has been covered time & again.


I put up a VERY long post about DW and how to isolate faulty components. It should probably be stickied or stuck in some kind of FAQ section.

sorry to strongly disagree about the stabilizer shock. That has everything to do with the death wobble. change it
Sorry for your ignorance, but the stabilizer bar does nothing to prevent death wobble. Putting a stronger or newer stabilizer bar on will mask the problem at best.
What a stabilizer bar is for (and you can ask ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about suspension) is to smooth out the steering. It does not and cannot prevent or cause death wobble. I have run my jeep with NO stabilizer for over a month, and the only thing that is different is low speed turning, kind of jerky in the steering wheel.
Sorry to disagree with you, but sometimes you should learn things before you go "strongly disagreeing" with someone who knows more than you.

Anytime you lift a cherokee you will get some kind of wobble or shake unless you change out the track bar for an adjustable one,you can buy brackets to relocate yours but not sure it is the best way to go. When you lift your front end you are actually causing the front end to shift which causes bump stear and the wobble,the track bar will allow you to recenter your axle. control arms should also be changed but will not make as much difference as the track bar,steering stabilizer will stop the wobble for a period of tme,but not for the lond term. Bushings should also be looked at,many little things can add up.
