Death Wobble Traumatism
I realised today that I have a death wobble traumastism.
One month ago, I experienced death wobble for the first time. It was horrible!!!
Now, the DW problem is over, but I'm not the same driver anymore.
- When I see a train crossing, I will slow down because I'm affraid that my Jeep will do DW again
- I was driving at 120 km/h before, now it's 100km/h because I don't trust my Jeep anymore, therefore I don't appreciate driving like before
I hope that this traumatism will disappear ...

I too feel your pain.
My solution took a while, but ended up being new wheels and tires, planned
on doing that eventually this just sped up the process. And front adjustable
control arms to correct caster installed by Clayton Off Road.
Everytime I see a substantial bump or expansion joint I brace for wobble.
Tomorrow I am travelling into NY state from Ct so it'll be a good test.

But there is light, I put new lower control arms on and I'm telling yah it has made a huge difference in the feel of the Jeep and I'm back to loving it again.
