  1. Death Wobble

    I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. 22,000 miles on it. Everything is stock on it. Has been in the shop now 3 times for the Death Wobble. I call it. First two times they said the steering stablizer has to be pumped 30 times. To get fluid going or something. Third time. They said they...

  2. Fixing the "death wobble"

    My current 2022 Wrangler Sport S is my fourth Jeep, but the first one where I have experienced the "death wobble". It caught my wife while driving on the highway and half scared her to death, so I need to get it fixed before she will be comfortable driving the Jeep again. Fortunately the Jeep...

  3. The beginning of "death wobble"?

    2020 JLU Sahara with 2.0 turbo. I've been very happy with our Wrangler since we purchased it new in 2020. We now have about 32,000 miles on it (plus another 15,000 flat-towing it behind our motorhome. It has always been a smooth ride (for a Jeep!) with no vibration going down the roads...

  4. Death Wobble - Please Help

    ...on uneven surfaces. On sharper bumps there was a shimmy in the steering; on a couple occasions in the first few days this evolved into death wobble. Prior to this I had heard of DW, but never experienced it, now I had. I also had never felt a shimmy in the steering quite like that. I...

  5. Death Wobble Survivor Poll

    Lots of previous discussion on cause and solutions but I am curious how many of us JL owners have experienced Death Wobble in their current JL? Don't confuse DW with a little steering wheel shimmy aka bump steer. If you have had DW you would know as it scares the sh!t out of you. Please take...

  6. Rear ended now a death wobble

    ...for about 7 days before heading out of town. It sat parked for 5 days. When I returned and was heading home I experienced the worse health wobble I have ever felt. I thought the front of the car was going to fly off the car. I safely slowed down to below 50 and the car returned to normal...

  7. Another death wobble...beating it to DEATH!

    ...on after market rims with slightly more offset. Very mild modifications.. 8000 miles later with maybe 3K off-road I experienced severe death wobble several times between 60 and 70 MPH on I80 that severely shuttered the entire truck until getting town around 35MPH. Other cars on the road...

  8. *another* death wobble thread

    So my ‘22 Sahara has 32k miles on it… prior repairs include an entire engine replacement (a completely different conversation) amongst other things.. but over all love the thing. Got the DW, my guy at the dealership instantly ordered a damper and got it installed, jeep was fine for 2 days then...

  9. 2018 JLUR, owned since new, massive death wobble - Question pls

    ...but it is just acceptable. This is my 4th Wrangler with the worst steering on it compared to my previous ones. I am getting severe death wobble at 20, 30, 40, 50 mph.. in straights, turns, uphill, downhill, completely random. The Steering wheel moves from the 9:00 position to the 3:00...

  10. Death Wobble - Quick Advice

    ...to buy a set of stock takeoffs (245/75R17s) and put them on. Figure I'd save a little money on gas and save the 35s. But, now I have death wobble. Is this even worth pursuing? Or, is a lift kit with stock rims/tires just a recipe for disaster and I should just put the 35s back on...

  11. “Death Wobble” resolved quickly…🙏

    About a week ago while on the interstate at 70ish I experienced that first ever wobble. Happened sporadically on uneven bridge connections and only over 60 mph and resolved when slowly below 50 mph. Took the 2021 Jeep altitude sport to the dealership at 38,000 miles and they replaced the...

  12. Death wobble under warranty, what're my options?

    So, not a legitimate death wobble, but definitely a precursor. Violent shaking and had to pull off the road. Under 30k miles on a 2022 Sahara Unlimited. The dealership tossed a dampener on it and called it good. I argued that this is only masking the issue, but the guy's response was "this is...

  13. Death Wobble after Lift, only when cold outside

    ...came and we never had another issue. Since then I’ve replaced the wheels and tires with Method 703’s and BFG KO2 37” load Cs, we had death wobble again about a month ago when it was around 30 degrees outside, I noticed a bit of play in the drag link at the pitman arm where it was clicking so...

  15. 2022 Sahara 4xe issues: steering wobble, center console USB keep disconnecting, and windshield crack

    Taking my 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4xe to dealer tomorrow to fix steering wobble, center console USB keep disconnecting, and windshield crack. Do you think the warranty will cover them? I’ve been reading the forum and sounds like the dealer should know these solutions by now.

  17. Advice on death wobble. And caster.

    ...Metal Cloak tie rod and drag link. That actually made things worse. Especially when on pavement, and when aired down, I get a full on death wobble after hitting bumps. I have to slow down to about 15MPH to get it to stop. To fight that I figured with 41K miles on the jeep I would install a...

  18. Death wobble, er...."Shimmy Felt in Front End" issue.

    I experienced this for the first time recently, and took the Jeep to the dealer. I did the research and gave them the TSB 02-004-21 and Star case number S1819000004 (I did not trust them after the vehicle was sold to me with open, unperformed recalls on it). Jeep is a 2021 4xe Rubicon with 26K...

  19. Death Wobble cont. Is getting an after-market stabilizer worth iit?

    Hi all. 11k on a 2020 2 dr. Sport Wrangler and experienced my first DW. Dealer has ordered a replacement OEM damper/stabilizer (3-4 week wait) but I have read that there’s no guarantee it will fix the problem. Would it be worth the investment to get for example a Fox after-market stabilizer...

  20. Unexpected Wobble Fix?

    ...35" Maxxis RAZR AT tires on my stock wheels. Upon picking it up I noticed that it had a definite shimmy that turned into a full blown wobble with the right bump and right temperature (<35f).
