Death Wobble Poll
Simple... Have you ever had Death Wobble yes or no? Stock Jeep or lifted..... Just want to get an idea of exactly how infrequent or frequent of an occurance this problem really is.

Only had my '07 for 3 weeks, but started getting DW after toe was corrected in an alignment job. Bought it as a dealer trade-in, so no true idea what has been done to it other than what appears to be a Rubicon Express 2" spacer lift. Took it in for wheel balancing this week....no weights on any tires when they were pulled off, but all 4 had balancing beads in them. Out with the beads and on with some weights....no DW since. Just a little bump steer.

Yes I've had it in my 09 stock and lifted I put a dual steering stabilizer on two years ago and it never happened again . When it started it just kept getting worse till I fixed it .I'm pretty sure there r other causes for this but that was mine the little stock shock was garbage .bump steer is gone now to

My JK was lifted with 35s never had a DW. Did the install myself, just have to make sure things are installed and torque down correctly. Had the lift a few years with no issues..

had it before on my TJ, lifted and stock
Causes were:
Bad axle u joints
bad wheel bearings
alignment
Warped rotors
Nothing yet on the JK, but its less than a year old and only has 17,000kms.

Currently have it, stock '10 Unlimited Rubicon, about 48k miles. Old steering stabilizer had no fluid left, got a replacement from Teraflex, temporarily bandaging DW. Checked out Planman's DW thread and it's a little more than I can chew mechanically wise, so I'm gonna head down to ORE or Rebel one of these days to get it checked out.
