so long as your suspension components are on tight (especially your front track bar) and you have no mounts or joints that are failing, you will not have this problem.

no - death wobble is a condition associated with the front end of your jeep.

My daughter says it's like a rollercoaster ride and fun. Me not so much. I hate it but haven't had time to fix it.

At 65 MPH it is the worst feeling in the world.You have no control what so ever.

Just slow down it will stop, if you dont hit something but you dont have alot of control when it is going on.I ordered a JKS trackbar today to try and get rid of it.

Well the track bar did not fix it so I need to get the lower front control arms in to see if that fixs it.
