I think I am victim of dreaded death wobble!! I have a 96 GC with 4 inch tough country lift with rusts off road dual steering stabilizer when I hit pot holes at around 40-50 mph my whole front end feels like its going to fall off but it does not do it all the time over some bumps at the same speed nothing happens... I just got this jeep today it was fine in the test drive an all day untill i went over a not bad at all bump at around 45mph or so an violent shakes had to pull over.. I travel the highway a lot so I cant risk it happening again while traveling down the highway with my kids in the car.. It just had an alignment done maybe a month ago an the steering stabilizer was also just put on the clamps aren't even showing any rust please how do you fix this I inspected majority of the front ent parts for looseness or broken parts an found nothing only thing i came across was the bar the the front steering stabilizer is attached to has slight play in it maybe 1/4 it turns back an forth is this the problem? |

First thing you need to do is get it up in the air and check everything over real well. Check for loose parts/bad bushings/ball joints/everything |

I am thinking of replacing the track bar because it has a slight bit of play in it |

Take some time and go to ironrockoffroad.com as noted above and read their information on death wobble. It's a link on their website about 2/3rds of the way down on the left hand side. Yes, if the track bar mounting is loose or worn it can cause what you are describing. |
