Road force balance?
I wonder if adjustable LCAs would fix it.
Are you saying my wobble is similar to yours?
No sir I don’t have the shimmy in the steering you have but do have what I would call a dead band, plan on do a trip to see some family while out of town so will try to do a vid of steering going at highway speeds and post up.
It might. Mine still has the dead spot in the steering but when I take it in for the cruise control recall, I am going to have them check the sensitivity setting per the TSB. If that does not help, I will change the steering damper to see if it takes it out. Usually, death wobble has something to do with steering geometry or loose components
You think that video I posted shows death wobble? I keep getting this issue at 52-57mph. Feels like its almost still a balancing issues. I've gone full speed 60mph over railroad tracks, doesn't influence a thing. Just at that speed I mentioned and on crummy country roads. Only actual large bumps in the road that influence are ones that are off axis where the left hits slightly before right or vice versa.
That does not look like death wobble. That almost looks like tire balance. When they are rotated, does it change the shimmy?
It felt worse with the rears up front but thet could have been in my head. Been messing with it all day.
Experiencing real "death wobble" would make you fear driving the Jeep again. The first time i experienced it in a customers Jeep going 60mph on the highway. The steering wheel rocked so hard side/side i had zero control. I had to come to almost a complete stop on the highway before i could control the Jeep again. By that time i was 3 lanes over and very lucky that nobody was in those lanes as I could have done nothing to avoid hitting them.
Awesome, thank you. Really great to get your input I appreciate it. Going to discount tire tomorrow, one that has "Hunter road force elite" that I'm going to ask for. Hopefully they'll give me a printout of the results. And Yes, I didn't think it was death wobble because passengers don't even feel this wobble.
Anytime, let us know how it turns out.
Me too, there's a few guys in the local Jeep Facebook groups that can do it but I wanna try discount tire one more time since it would be no charge.
