Tonight when driving my jeep it felt like it had a slight death wobble, it wasnt bad at all but it was enough to notice it, only did it at around 47mph, is this a sign of a steering stabilizer crapping out? what are the signs of a bad steering stabilizer?
thanks
thanks

Death wobble is NOT a sign of a bad stabilizer. Unbolt the stabilizer compress and extend it by hand. If it is easy to do replace it.
Now start working on the Death Wobble. The new slizer will make the DW symptoms go away, but the problem is still there and will return, usually more severe.

okay, i had a horrible dw before but i thought the alignment fixed it, i think it just made it not so bad, pretty sure mine is being caused by the track bar, thanks ill try a drop arm if i can get a steal on one.
