yet another..
death wobble thread.
I searched and didnt get all of my answers 100%..
So every time my front passenger wheel hits the slightest bump I have insane death wobble. Feels like the car is going to loose control!!
The car just hit 150K its only 2WD just a daily driver for me.
So I went ahead and ordered a "rugged ridge" heavy duty tire rod kit and also went ahead with the OME heavy duty suspension kit.
These should be quality parts?
and as far as the track bars, what am I looking for?
the jeep will only be lifted around 1"..
should I be alright with stock size track bars?
or should I go all out and just buy full adjustable?
I really want to get rid of this death wobble! its frustrating already.
any input would be greatly appreciated

Ya the steering damper/stabilizer is the shock on the steering which Im guessing you probably knew already. And I've had death wobble in three jeeps and every one was the steering damper being shot.

But from what I read, the dampener is more of a "band-aid" fix. My car goes nuts when it decides it is going to wobble..
I want to solve the problem right the first time hahaa
