some front end problems
Hey all so today I was driving home from work and hit a slight bump at about thirty and the front end started shaking pretty bad so I slowed down and it went away and then did it about ten minutes later... this has never happened before to me in my xj but i have heard of the imfamous jeep "Death Wobble" how would i go about fixing this problem??

your best bet for death wobble info would be a quick search, I know there's at LEAST 2 good threads on here with an amazing amount of info that would help you out.
they're long reads, so I'm sure everyone would agree on starting there as it's a lot to repost.
if you can't find them, let us know, I'm sure we can dig them up!

Did you check the front suspension/steering components? If you hit a bump, and then it started, it sounds like you may have broken or loosened a component. Check your track bar, stabilizer bar, drag link, u-joints, ball joints, steering damper (stabilizer), etc. and make sure nothing is loose or broken.

Most common problem to the death wobble is your track bar. a little bit of play will caus what you describe. thats where i would start.
