Wow never experienced that
This has happened to me while drifting my 240SX. Terrifying!
Death wobble is not just a Jeep and Dodge issue any SUV can experience it but more so with modded versions (lift kits, over sized tires etc.) The issue with the ball joints is a symptom and not necessarily the cause. changing those parts might correct the issue but what ever caused those items to fail at 22k miles will cause it again. You also didn't mention the steering stabilizer which is supposed to stop the side to side motion from a bump. A bad stabilizer or the wrong stabilizer will cause death wobble. With a lift kit you also need to upgrade that as well. There appears to be a lot of things done wrong with lifting that Jeep to cause the issues its having, some you've pointed out.
Also death wobble will go away if you accelerate so if on a highway or any road you speed up to get rid of it.
Why didn't you show the death wobble on the Jeep you was working on?
Sounds like recall time, Chrysler.
FIAT-Chrysler is going to kill someone if they haven't already. Between this and the entertaining transmissions they've made, they should be heavily fined and prevented from selling some vehicles in North America until they get their shit together.
22k miles and loose steering? That Jeep has had a rough owner and/or oversized tires.
22k miles. Junk
Why do people who post always have to ask "hello everybody what's up?" Just get to the point.
try a death wobble on a bike….buddy of mine was killed by it……
I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara 2010. I've never experienced this but I would not be looking forward to it. Thanks for the info
New jeep to plow the snow? yes the death wobble had it on my 2014 Rubicon the dealer did fix it
