JLU Rubicon, Front end shimmy

[badge171]

So, My 22 JUL Rubicon, Stock BF Goodrich KO2 tires, under 20k, Has developed a shimmy on the road 60 or so MPH , Not a DW yet. I have checked all the ball joints ,steering points for tightness, No did not torque , just tightened. Have not jacked up ,put a pry bar under the wheel and checked for play in ball joints yet. Starting to believe I might have a steering stabilizer on the way out. Questions is ? I don't do a lot of off roading but some. But I do like quality parts. What's the best bang for the buck in a reasonable price stabilizer if that's the problem .Thanks for the help....

I had a shimmy / vibration in the range of 63-67 mph. I noticed this after a 5 tire rotation. I had them balanced and it completely went away. They also were stock with K02 at around 44k miles. I just recently put OEM 35" K02s on with doing an alignment and balancing, no issues at all.

I am not saying do not get the stabilizer but they may not be the issue.

Thanks. I should mention I’m only getting it once I hit a bump or a lift in the road.

Stabilizer WILL NOT fix your shimmy. All it does is attempt to keep the shimmy from getting too bad. You need to find the cause of the shimmy and get it fixed.
