  • Death wobble

    My 08 Jeep Wrangler has a death wobble in the front end it lasted about 90 sec today on 75 once we hit about 60 mph could it just be the bushings or what any info will help thanks it only has a 2 1/2 in rough country lift with factory tires

    Yep, loose steering and/or suspension. Usually tie rod ends or track bar.

    Like Waffle said, rock the steering to see what's loose.

    And report back!

        A bad tire could also cause it

          Front track bar bolts on these are undersized. Do a quick search to see what size they replace the 2 bolts with and torque properly. Adjustable lower link bars can cure this but should not be needed with just a 2.5" lift.

            my 05 dodge had this so I started with trackbar which is normally the problem. then all new steering, then ball joints and unit bearings and also steering box brace, so front was all new, not sure what stopped ninja dancing front axle but drives great after that!
