Shivering in supsension
I have when I drive over potholes or so a shivering in my (front) suspension.
Probably most people will say now itīs death wobble or the beginning of it. But I donīt think so.
I had light DW on my ZJ. The wobble is left to right and you feel it in the steering wheel.
In the JK itīs different. Itīs a short shiver up and down. Ok, maybe also sometimes a little bit to the side.
But it feels like some suspension parts arenīt strong enough or shock rebound is to weak. I donīt feel anything in the steering.
I drive the hard OME 2" springs with Bilstein 5100, 5100 steering damper and JKS adj. trackbars. Everything is (should) be properly alligned.
Is there something know beside DW ? Weak rubber joints somewhere, weak shocks or so ?
Like I said, I donīt think itīs the ordinary DW.
