Default Desperate need of help.

I leave for Colorado tomorrow on vacation. Last night on the way home from work I noticed that when I would hit a good size bump my jeep would start a death wobble from hell and then just go away. It has never done anything close to this before. I checked tire pressure, lug nuts, control arms and steering components. I need ideas please.

Loosen and tighten steering , track bar, and control arms after a good shake. Torque to spec on the ground.

Go get your tires balanced.

Have had the same issue a couple of times

The above advice is sound. Although it may sound crazy, the only time I have experienced the "wheel shake after bump " is when my mud tires are due for rotation (about 6k miles). After rotating them it stops doing it. /shrug.
