Default Just bought '08 2 Dr--- some problems
Hey everyone, I JUST got my 2 door sport wrangler and when I was driving on the highway, there was a point where I lost control of the car because it was severely shaking/shimmying. Does anyone know what that could be?

Go up to JK Write-Ups and click the first thread stuck to the top. All kinds of great information on what to look for and how to check the various components.

Look up Planmanns Write Up for diagnosing death wobble. Could also be unbalanced tire(s).
