Default Death wobble

I had the death wobble on my 2007 sahara unlimited the other day. What do I need to do to fix this?

Is this on all the jeep wranglers? Just bought a used 07 x unlimited 2wd and honestly the more I read the more I think I messed up buying another jeep (my last one was a 95). I'm not putting them down but it seems so far it's oil problems, tranny, front end(dw) and I've only been on here for a week.

I've had cjs, yjs, Tj and a jku, never had a death wobble nor has anyone I wheel with. Def read the forum link provided. There are proximate causes for dw which are normally user related

While you are diagnosing the problem you should also report this very dangerous issue here..

Okay, but have they done anything about it so far? How many people have to report this issue before it gets actually looked at as an actual safety issue? Just curious. Have you heard anything from them yet?
