When I rotated my tires once it did the same thing to me, when I rotated them back it quit. Sounds like they need to be balanced to me that was my issue.

That is odd that you are having the same issue with the same stabilizer. However, since I rotated my tires I have not had any problems. I'd be curious to know if that fixed your problem as well.


Sounds like maybe one of the tires on the back is out of balance? I checked and all the weights were there and stable. I am really close to buying another set so honestly, if i don't have any more problems with the wobble I will just leave them like this.

Tomorrow night I'm putting in the new trackbar bolts, new stabilizer, aev's control arm drop brackets, a new teraflex monster adjustable front trackbar and some 35s on 17 inch rims. If that doesn't fix it I'm out of idears

I've continued to battle the same problem. Today I think I finally figured it out! And I feel like an idiot for not thinking about this. There are two different kinds of rims. Hub-centric, and lug-centric. A lot of aftermarket rims are lug-centric. I had free time at work and decided to fool around with the Jeep. Threw the tires on the balancing machine and used the special attachment for the lug-centric rims because I figured it couldn't hurt. So far so good. The Jeep handles better and no more shake! Curious if you fixed it yet. If not try this!
