wobble!?
Ok, I have replaced two steering stabilizers in the past 2 years. I finally bought a Fox racing one for $294.00 and it has worked great. What would be causing the steering wheel and front end to start to go bananas when I go voer a group ogf bumps while driving on the street? Seriously, if this isn't fixed I hate to say it but I may sell my Jeep and start over. Thanks and hope someone has an answer soon.

a steering stabilzer will only mask or hide whatever problems you have causing your wobble - it will NOT fix it. wobbling like you have described is almost always a track bar related problem. more than likely, you have a mounting bolt that is not tightend to 125-130 ft lbs of torque. or, you might have a bushing that is going bad, a mount hole that has been wollowed out or worse, a mount that is begining to fail.
having said all that, there are a few things that can instigate your wobble the most common of which would be worn out ball joints, a toe that is off or a lack of caster.

Track bar. Or the other major cause if this is the diffrence in angle of the track bar and the drag link. The should be parallel to each other. You may need drag link flip and a frame mounted track bar bracket.

Haven't they made enough Jeeps and lift kits to get rid of the "Death Wobble" yet. I went through that on the last Jeep. Can't someone make an Anti Death Wobble kit with all the components that usually cause the wobble so we don't have to deal with it.

If every Jeep weighed the same (i.e. aftermarket bumpers, skid plates, hardtop/softtop,...).
