so i bent the shit out of my stock steering stabilizer and have been driving around on it for a while and could feel a difference. i took it off and went for a drive and it was fine till i hit a small whoop... THEN I EXPERINCED DEATH WOBBLE sweet mother of god i had to come to a stop to get it to go away..... why would i randomly get death wobble when i took off the steering stabilizer. i thought people ran with out them. do i have another issue some where?

 

YES. You have another issue. Check the search for an extensive list of things to check. Something is loose or worn or both.

Then AFTER you dial it all in get a relocation bracket that raises the SS up. I did the old man emu kit. But if $ is no biggie consider the FOX adjustable one. Heard great things about it and would love one myself. Someone was going to Hydro assist on one of the jeep forums and had theirs for sake but i can't recall which one or who

Sorry

 

its just odd because if i put it back on its fine

 

It sounds like your stabilizer still works even though it's bent up. The reason the problem goes away with it on is that the SS is masking and/or mitigating an issue somewhere else in your front end. Time to grab one of the death wobble threads and start eliminating culprits.

 

i wonder how i could get the dealer to fix this lol.... 21k miles

 

Unless everything's still stock (lift, tires, gears) I wouldn't hold my breath. Good luck.

 

it is stock besides a spacer lift. i may just take the spacers out. and take it in. i went under my jeep put the ss back on and cranked down on the track bar bolts and there deff at least 125.. lca were all tight as well. :/

 

I think there is a thread by panman that goes through all the steps excellent thread

 

Planman. The guy's a library of Jeep info.

 

yeah took it in for a alignment and a bunch of things were off. I'm afraid to take the ss off and try it again lol. i don't want to get death wobble while theres snow on the ground. but the aligment shop said the ball joints and tre were fine so.. I'm gonna pull the track bar bolts out tomorrow to make sure they have not oveled out the track bar bracket holes at that time i think I'm going to replace them with 9/16 grade 8 hardware.
