Shouldn't need a steering stabilizer ! All they do is hide the problem..
Dealing with this on my girlfriends 2015 Wrangler with a small lift the aftermarket Pitman arm is actually wallowed out at the splines, the wobble got severe enough to bind up the aftermarket dual steering stabilizer and dent the stabilizer bodies and also noticed that the tires have broken belts in them, I’ll be fixing all of this and correcting the alignment we run auto repair business and I fix a lot of stuff like this I will say this I don’t care what wheel weights are on your setup almost every single time I’ve taken somebody else’s balance job and put it on our machine it is shown to be off so don’t take having weights on your wheels as a sign that they are balanced correctly fyi
One stearing or tie rod not adjusted right
1st timer to your channel-excellent teacher and video. Thanks for sharing. cheers
That seems like a big lawsuit waiting to happen to anyone modifying their stock Jeep. You can rest assured the Plaintiff's attorney is going to bring up every single modification done to that vehicle versus how it rolled off the assembly line.
Wheel balance does not cause a death wobble. 🤡 And toe does not cause a death wobble 🤡🤡 this guy is a joke
Excellent video!
Question my wife jeep doing death wobble I change steering stabilize so what is next step
Don’t buy a jeep. Problem fixed
easy fix…..don't buy one
Warranty "sometimes" fix this… ONLY if Jeep approves it for the dealership to cover it. JEEP often does NOT cover this. They didn't cover it for my Gladiator and I will never buy Jeep again!
Easy way to fix it… sell it and buy a Toyota
I have a weird one, Off road climbing a nice very rocky hill and after returning I felt death wobble in the dirt low speed. I thought no way. Finished my run got on the road all was good hit a bump and there it was death wobble. found my track bar had come loose both ends. Believe alignment tech must have left it under torqued. Most part all good now. weird part now, first drive after being parked first right turn usually a little accelerating and a bump I feel the steering wheel wobble just a tiny bit goes away asap and after completely warmed up I can hit the same turn and nothing. Rancho track bar, metalcloak lower control arms, 2.5 lift. stock drag and tie rod. fox shocks and stabilizer. wrangler JL RUBICON 20K miles. I'm leaning towards track bar issue as my steering wheel doesn't sit centered anymore. but before I throw a new track bar metalcloak this time, I'm going to do another alignment and see what the machine tells me.
You have great hair!
I'm so glad I found this video! Thanks for telling me what the deal was with my jeeo.
Death wobble…never heard such a thing til now!
Just wouldn't own a jeep or any car that has that stupid problem!
I’m purchasing a Jeep this week and want to know everything. My friend has a Jeep and it appears this is a common issue. I’m new to this but could improper lift kit be a cause?
On my 5th Jeep, all lifted with big tires 37” and up. Never had a touch of death wobble. Only use Metalcloak lifts.
Is putting 30 psi going to trip the TPMS indicator on the DIC? I know mine if it drops below 31 psi it activates the tpms Low air indicator? Just curious
This is ridiculous, 2021 LJ and needs fixing due to death wobble?
This seems sooo much longer, dull and over explaining the it actually is
great vid thanks
How do you not know your steering box is not bad? I have about a 1/4 steering turn before the wheels respond, and the Jeep is seriously twitchy and runs all over the road with road defects and wind. I have a brand new stabilizer, and it really depends on the stabilizer. One I had lasted 5 years where, whereas others last 6 months. The stabilizer is great for bump steer, but tracking the jeep is unnecessary. I have driven big, tired, older trucks, and they never had stabilizers but would track with road imperfections.
Death wobble in the jeeps is caused by incorrect toe in. Get a set of alignment plates and set it at 1/8" toe in and it will go away. When you take it to a alignment shop, they will put it into the green zone on the screen and call it good, which it is not unless they happen to land on at 1/8" toe in
Do all model Jeeps do this? I have a 2016 and I don't want to go threw that YIKES
Wow, your guys check list is really useful. Thank you.
I had this wiggle on my Suzuki samurai. It was the steering stabilizer shock. It would start around 30 mph.
Great video.
Fantastic video. My 22 ecodiesel gladiator had it. Replaced the steering stabilizer stopped for a bit but still haad shimmy. 20k later its back
great vid, is there a reason you set the alignment to dead ahead to start?
Can you come to Nashville?
