NEED ADVICE! 2018 JLU Death Wobble

[Donnie27]

2 weeks ago I had 60k service. Changed diff. fluid checked suspension components. All were fine except they found water in brake line. Brake fluid was replaced. On way home Jeep pulled left under braking and I had a Death wobble1 time. Took back to dealer and couldn't be reproduced. Now another week has passed and had the Wobble again under moderate braking. 2.5 BDS lift, 35x12.5x18, 62k miles. Since it is only intermittent what should I do??

I dont think they bled the brakes correctly. Thats why is pulling when you hit the brakes. This might also be the reason why it shakes when you hit the brakes. I dont think it would be considered death wobble. you might have a sticky cliper or air in the caliper from improper bleeding.

It is my first experience with the wobble, so

It is my first wobble, so It may not be. It is pretty violent though. I am confused as to why it is intermittent.

Also the left pull went away a week ago but wobble was yesterday?

The left pull can be caused by bad control arm bushings or loose bolts.

Can you feel the wobble issue specifically in the steering wheel?

well... it could very well be some worn out bushing causing death wobble. it was just odd that it happened after a brake service. only way to find out is get underneath and start prying on each control arm and steering linkage to see if you find any play in joints

Suspension was went over by dealer. They said nothing was worn or loose. I believe that because they will sell you something if they can. Yes only in steering wheel. They stated it could be a worn damper also. They cannot verify that issue.

A bit of brake fluid on the routers could also cause your symptoms. But would go away after a few days of usage. That said something was probably not bled properly….
