i have death wobble starting i know where it coming form my steering box, i have over 5 in of play and every thing under there but the steering box is new, unless im missing something.

but the issue im having is at about 10o form full lock my jeep is jumping like mine pushing in and letting the clutch out when in both 4h and 4l, then i got a leak in the front axle i checked the gear oil lvl and it where it should be but its right wither the axle comes out. then it squeaks when it is 4x4 and i have taken it in and to the local lub and tire shop to have my tries rotated and had every thing lubed up and it still does it. all my ujoins are less then 2 months old.

any ides

Check the Track bar. They go bad all the time.

How arew the ball joints? I had DW on my 89 and turned out my tires were no good even though they had good tread. got new tire's and no more DW

shintastrife

ball joints there nice a tit hard to move for the most part but i think you might be right, i do have one that is easy to move but ball joints and all the bars we replaced like a said unless at *** at that shop said is did and didnt, is that true he want have a shop for much longer. tries should be good less then 3 months old

JeepingDan

i have a 96 and i have had to deal with the deathwobble since i lifted it and i solved it by getting a new steering stabilizer and that solved it but now that dont work and i blew out my ujoints last winter and replaced them and it was better but it is still there and i then forund out that my lower control arms are loose the bolt is just a tid bit small for the hole so my tires rock back and forth a little bit so i drilled the holes in the frame bigger go the right sized bolt and it hasent run smother now haha well it beter after new stabilizer (old man emu) ujoints and tightening the control arms

i got to looking and there are old ball joins where there should be new ones, so the shop i took it to is getting a ear full and im getting a full refund for all the work they did those 3 days it took them.

looks like i will be taking a day or two off work and fix my jeep myself and do it the right way.

i got a steering stabilizer that are rated for 35'' tries and i only have 28'' on there

WOW is all i have to say but hey that could be your issue than if those ball joints are bad and i have had issues with shops trying to screw me over and man its fun telling them whats up but did you check the lower control arms hope you get it all figured out

JeepingDan

So they charged you for ball joints that they never put in?! I'd give them a earfull and file a complaint to the the Dept of Motor Vehicle. if in fact they didint perform the services they charged you for.

WOW. you should rip that shop a new one. i've never been more irate than when a shop you use tries to screw ya.
