Steering wobble

[Awesam]

Hi, I just replaced my 2015 Jeep Unlimited Sports to a New 2018 Unlimited Sahara.
And just noticed that my steering wobbles quiet a bit when I go over a pot hole or bumps on freeway.
Asked the dealer about it and he said it might be cause of bigger tire than what I had before.
It is not terrible wobble and it goes away if I slow down a bit or after few seconds.
I haven't done any modifications and same tire that dealer gave me and was just wondering if anyone else had similar experience.
Thank you!

Taking mine in today....I only have 1800 miles, completely stock Sport S...never been off-road, etc...It's been doing it since it was new but each time it has gotten a little worse. So hopefully the dealer will have a fix.....

Yeah... I had to bring mine to the dealers and they replaced the dampers and I didn't have real opportunity to test it out coz of snow but it seems ok. So hopefully they get yours all fixed up too!

i had a minor minor minor wobble after hitting diagonal joints and weird bumps that i was able to remedy with a falcon 2.2 stabilizer. This wasnt death wobble and went away on its own after a second or two. YMMV

I'm hoping it's an easy fix like that....Let me know how it goes once you're able to bring it up to highway speeds....

How much was that?

Took mine in today - they replaced the steering damper - they told me it was an all new part - not the same as I had. We'll see....
