Highway bump causes death wobble

[tengg2001]

Hi all,

This is new to me, hope if I can get some insights here.

I have a 2021 JLUR 2.0T. Been driving 19 months with 13k miles. I installed the Mopar lift kit about a year ago. Never had any issues.

We drove the Jeep to Lake Tahoe, and the death wobble happened!

First happened a day ago on high way around 50mph on a small bump.

Today it happened at the exact same bump and wobbling like crazy. Felt like the whole steering system or the front wheels were resonating the vibration. After a few minutes we hit another bump and it started again. Had to slow down to around 30mph to stop the wobbling vibration.

Wondering what could be the cause? We never had the issue when driving in the Bay Area, and I-880 had quite a lot bumps and never caused wobbling.

Most likely something wore out or loose, read this, it pretty much covers it……

Torque bolts to spec, front track bar & uca/lca’s
Check steering ends as well.
Once everything is tight you should be good if it continues then you have warned out ends on the parts.
