So the xj has recently come down with a nice case of death wobble. when I hit a bump going 50 or faster my front end goes freaking nuts. I really need to get this fixed cause it's my DD for school and everything else. If anyone has any ideas your help would be greatly appreciated. Here's some info on the jeep to help. 3" RC aal kit, 28" goodyear wranglers and everything else is completely stock. D30 up front and the magnificent d35c in back lol. Everything was running fine the lifts been in for about 2 months now and the problems have recently shown up

 

i have the same prob only get wobbles at 50 and stops at 55 i have bad shocks in the front and tire needs to be rotated or need new tires not sure yet search around for death wobble threads bunch out here bro bw im on a 4.5' RC lift and 31's

 

how old is your stabilizer shock?

 

stabilizer shock will only bubblegum and duct tape the problem i heard DW will come back quick if you buy a new one

 

it cured my 95 i had. something else is amuck then

 

Yeah I've got the steering wheel wobble at 50 that goes away at 55 to. But my shocks are good since I put in RC Nitros with the lift. I've searched alot before but most of the threads are extremely generalized so I'm trying to get like a specific diagnosis if possible

 

This is true my friend tried to fix his wrongler with one and it came back in a week

 

I have dw at 50 goes away 55 just right there in that spot

 

im thinking my DW is caused by my bad shocks/ possible bad tire(s)/ or bad ball joints... all new bearings, tie rods u joints.... i need a cold one lol

 

My XJ does the same thing, 50-55 death wobble then an 60+ its super smooth. Shocks are brand new soo im sure its the tires.

 

Yeah I think I'm just gonna rotate my tires and go from there

 

Death wobble can be caused by MANY different things. In short, it's caused by some type of misaligned/worn/broken part in the steering and/or front suspension. First thing to do is to jack up the front end of your Jeep and have some slowly turn the wheel back and forth while you look for any looseness underneath. Places to look for loose/worn/broke parts:
-Front tires out of balance
-Front alignment out of spec (make sure it's aligned to your lift, not factory specs)
-Loose track bar
-Lower track bar bolt hole wallowed out
-Worn track bar bushings
-Worn track bar end(s)
-Need adjustable track bar (axle isn't centered)
-Bad bushings/joints in control arms
-Worn/damaged steering stabilizer (this is usually just a band-aid for the real cause)
-Worn/damaged shocks
-Worn/damaged tie rod end
-Bad axle U Joint
-Bad ball joint
-Cracked track bar frame mount
-Steering box looseness
-Need drop pitman arm
-Driveshaft(s) not balanced
-Bad front hub assembly

Lots of things to check, but if you go through it all properly, you can save yourself a ton of time and grief.
