Default death wobble info...

i noticed the other day while on the hwy that i had some minor death wobble issues. nothing too serious, but enough to get my attention, lol...

no prob. also found some info that says a 2nd steering stabilizer will not SOLVE the issue, only help mask it. unless you're running 35's or bigger a second one is unnecessary...
...harder bushings are recommended too.

Assuming no worn parts, increasing the caster will solve the problem. for an xj you need to add shims, the zj has snail cams.

It's too bad Chrysler doesn't make a recall on all the older JEEPS with the famous "Death Wobble" (Its would be a massive recall) but I won't hold my breath waiting
