The Death Wobble will never go away!
Save yourself the headache and costs and by NOT purchasing a Wrangler. I have personally replaced the track bar, tie rod and tie rod ends, drag link, steering stabilizer, upper and lower control arm bushings, and adjusted the steering box. As well as had regular alignments and wheel balancing done on tires with 2k miles on them. ALL TO NO AVAIL!
Death Wobble is very deceiving. You think it’s gone but it just continues to rear it’s ugly head as soon as you let your guard down. Seriously, one day you’re driving and all is fine and the next you can’t get 2 miles down the road without death wobble happening. It shows no discrimination in regards to speed or road condition. Buying a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, so far, has been the worst purchase I’ve ever made. I can’t understand how/why Jeep has the following it does. And if it’s not death wobble you're battling with, then it’s a check engine light and new code. No exaggeration, if you buy a Jeep, new or used, plan on working on it at least 2 weekends a month and only being able to drive it half the time.
