Default Help! Need a good shop in lexington ky asap!

im not sure if this is the right place for this thread but i really need the name of some good 4x4 shops around lexington kentucky. i just got a terrible case of death wobble and need the jeep for my commute back to DC. The dealership is no help whatsoever and im having a hard time finding any shops around here that are going to know how to deal with DW.

I've lived in KY all my life. I'm up here in Northern KY but grew up in Lexington. The best shop that I know of is Performance Off-Road in Alexandria. Just google them. You can avoid the highway by taking US 27 and cruise under 50 mph the whole way. I had death wobble on my TJ and feel your pain.

Good luck man.

Are you sure it's the dreaded DW ?

You say you can't drive over 50 mph, is it a constantant shake at speed or you hit a bump and it starts shaking violently ?

Have you checked for any loose fasteners/hardware or worn parts yet ?
