The other day i had a case of death wobble and honestly i am a noob and dont know what to look for to fix the problem or what the problem is. also i have a bit of steering wheel shimmy at 50 mph and when i slow down. any help on what i should do?

 

Kinda need to know what happened. was it a violent uncontrollable shaking that only goes away if you stop, or a shimmy that self corrected?

More often than not true "Death Wobble" is caused by loose components, and usually it is an improperly torqued trackbar.

It is NOT a bad steering stabilizer before anyone starts that line of bologna. Myths About Steering Stabilizers. If your Jeep is functioning properly you actually dont need one at all. (Nice to have as it dampens vibrations but it does NOT cure them, it will only hide the problem which will eventually surface again & most likely worse as it was left unchecked.)

Speed related shimmies are almost always tire/balance related.

What happened is i crossed a Railroad track crossing at about 35mph and the car almost ripped apart the wheel was shaking it was a very violent experience

 

and i had to come to a complete stop for it to go away.

 

That's death wobble. It's even more fun at 70 mph. Ask me how I know!

Check the torque on your front track bar first.

 

I had the same thing happen and it was because my tires were underinflated(because someone,uhhmmm,forgot to air back up after wheelin).
