mine started at 14k miles. ANd yes, they put on a stabilizer and now they dont know whats going on.

Ironically though, when my boyfriend is in Jeep with me, it doesnt do it as bad??

I was having the death wobble problem at least every 2 to 3 days. Mine ended up being my Heims joint. (Normal wear and tear) 20$ part threw it on took it in for a new alignment and I have not had it since.
