Default death wobble
I have a 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 with 4.0. I installed a 2 inch spacer lift on front and it developed the death wobble at about 50 mph. I never had death wobble before I added the lift. What could be causing this?

Alignment, bad/loose track bar is where I'd start.

I'm having the same issue. Pretty sure that I need to just replace all of the steering parts from the pitman arm down.

Alright folks, when you lift an XJ, ZJ or TJ, you must adjust the toe in because it changes
