  • Wanna learn how to get rid of it? Upgrade your steering stabilizer. The stock stabilizers are cheap, made for Chrysler cars, and do not hold well against tires over 28" diameter. There are alot you can buy, or kits to double them (just in case you have 40s). I lifted my 2005 TJ to 4", and drove the stock 28" tires. It was fine, until I upgraded my rims and tires for 33x12.5 and then DEATH wobbles around 33 and 66 mph. It was scary. And then I upgraded my steering. All better. Hope I helped.

  • does your jeep still wobbles

  • No bearings on outside of Dana 30. Only in the non serviceable hub and in the carrier.

  • did it blow out your wheel hub bearing too by any chance?

  • @Azonicracing I had farm & fleet do an inspection and repair and there were no other problems.

  • @JustinAten Glad to hear its all fixed! I found my hub bearing was shot too.

  • The damper is out Call Chrysler!!

  • I changed my ujoints and I still have the wobble. They were bad, but it didint fix it.

  • @Poorguyconstruct

    It could be the bushings in the trackbar are bad too and everything has loosend over the years.

  • @evenchickenglo: Yes.

  • i had the "dw" bad as soon as i hit a little bump it would set it off. i fitted and adjustable stearing damper and that fixed the prob.

  • "death wobble" is inherent in any live front axle vehicle. It's caused by the track bar's inability to properly locate the axle under the vehicle. True "DW" is the entire axle oscillating under the vehicle. Loose parts, oversized, out of round, out of balance tires will exasperate the problem, or lift kits with a large 'hoop' shape in the track bar can alow the bar itself to bend. The 'real' fix is called independent front suspension. Everything has to be PERFECT for a live axle to work right.

  • Yep, a new U-joint fixed the problem. I also got new tires and an alignment, so that could have helped. If you are having this problem I'd recommend a front end inspection.

  • I took it into farm and fleet for an inspection this morning. They agree that the U-joints need replacing. I will know on Thursday if it fixes the problem.

  • you fix it? is it better now?
