Has anyone experienced it from a completely stock Wrangler that's never been off-road? (For instance, mine is a stock suspension daily driver with 13K miles and, other than the occasional smooth sandy road, is a pavement pounder. Never a problem of any sort.)

My wife had gotten it, and it scared the crap out of her. It was on her 96 Grand Cherokee which was NEVER offroad. Also a straight axle. I’ve had a couple of old CJ’s that got more of a shimmy, new steering stabilizer fixed them. So far my 19 JLR is problem free. Stock suspension with 35’s. 25K miles.

My 19 Rubicon is stock 36K and now I get the DW when I hit bumps at just the right angle

I did a spacer lift on my 2021 Willis and haven’t had any issues. Definitely a lot better ride than the 95 I had back in the day. I also daily this to work in a mine every day.

My 2018 2 door Rubicon had 41,000 miles on it when I sold it. Combination of trail and highway. No death wobble ever, or anything even remotely close. In fact, it was virtually problem free the entire time. Was an early first run JL so I was very pleased, especially in light of what others had reported.

I have owned three two door Wranglers,my 2021 Willys being the third.No death wobble in any of them.All were daily drivers,and the whole family drove them.In our area several mail carriers drive Wranglers on their routes and do thousands upon thousands of miles.None I have talked to have reported serious steering issues.But none of them run 37" tires or rock crawl on weekends!

The only death wobble stories I have heard of in my years with Jeeps have to me been other than Jeeps fault.

People put junk lift kits on that change the geometry of the suspension and them complain about Jeep and there death wobble. Either that or they go out on the weekends and bash the suspension part all to heck rock crawling and then blame Jeep once they hit the highway for work on Monday and get a bad highway ride.

Don't cheep out on your lift, don't bash your junk on the rocks and you will have zero troubles.

I have a 2021 JL 2-Dr Sport, totally stock. Has 18,700 miles and had the Death Wobble 6 times in 2 days driving on the highway and hitting a bump. Had it a few years ago on my 2015 JK 2-Dr Sport that was also stock except oversized tires...17". It had @ 75k miles on it. Turned out to be a beat up Steering stabilizer from the original owner driving it off-road. I have never taken either off-road, but still have the same issue. Trying to get it into the dealer tomorrow because it is unsafe to drive!
