06 Jeep Wrangler X - Problem with Shimmy in Steering Wheel....
Hi all,
I have a new "06 Jeep Wrangler X" (Great Jeep!) with a grand total of 6192 miles. When I drive about 60 mph on the freeway, the steering wheel wants to "shimmy", i.e. turn to the left, then to the right and vice versa. I have to hang tightly on this steering wheel or slow down to about 50 mph. I could really end up in the next lane, to the right or left. It's really noticeable with the cross winds or on windy days. Slower speeds on the regular city streets, it's OK. I had it to the dealership last month and they test drove it and they found nothing wrong. I also use this same jeep, to tow behind my RV. Do I need more air pressure in the two front tires of this jeep, or what else could be going on here???? There is a NHTSA ODI - Technical Service Bulletin out there and I'm going to follow up on it. Make : JEEP Model : WRANGLER Year : 2006 Manufacturer : DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION Service Bulletin Num : 1900306 Date of Bulletin: AUG 30, 2006 NHTSA Item Number: 10020334 Component: STEERING Summary: STEERING SHIMMY. *TT Has anyone experience this same problem, if so...how did you solve it?? Thanks, : -) Larryariz |

It is not nice to have 'The Death Wobble' in a new Jeep! That's nasty.
I would check the track bar ends out closely first. One way is to sit and line up something on the ground with a crease in the hood, then turn the steering side to side. If the nose of the Jeep wiggles side to side with the steering, you have track bar issues. One end at the axle is a bushing, the other end at the frame is a 'tie rod end'. Either can be sloppy. Did they check the toe in? That can cause wobble, but not the 'tacking into the wind' a loose part causes unless it is way out. You can check that yourself with a tape measure. I measure from the tire seam on one side to the seam on the other side's tire in the front of the tire and then do the same at the back of the tire as far up as you can go on each and see the measurement. It should be slightly less across the front, 1/8" or so. Does the steering come back to straight after a turn or do you have to pull it back?

Hi Larry,
Tell Daimler to fix it: http://alldata.com/TSB/04/060406d2.html Tire may just have mud caked on it causing it to be out of balance. Or you hit something breaking the tire carcass, causing a bubble, throwing it out of round, Or it just could be a bad tire casing that distorts at different speeds, causing a "death wobble" If you lifted it than your castor alignment is out of whack with the type of coil spring suspension Daimler uses, and you just live with. Maybe buy stronger steering stabilizer/dampener, or a Real Jeep with leaf springs: http://----------.com/TJleafSprings/ God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ "larryariz" <larryariz@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1189622467.626884.314530@y42g2000hsy.googlegr oups.com... > Hi all, > > I have a new "06 Jeep Wrangler X" (Great Jeep!) with a grand total of > 6192 miles. > > When I drive about 60 mph on the freeway, the steering wheel wants to > "shimmy", i.e. turn to the left, then to the right and vice versa.

Did this start happening after you rotated the tires at 6,000 miles as specified in the service interval? If so, rotate the tires back one at a time and see if this "cures" the problem. Rotate through your spare if you only have the jack that came with your Jeep (and thus can only lift one wheel at a time) and use an X-type lug wrench available at Sears or etc. rather than the pathetic thing that came with your Jeep. On an unlifted Jeep often the "shimmy" is nothing more than an out-of-round and/or out-of-balance tire. The OEM tires in particular are notorious for being pathetic. I had a bit of vibration in my (2" lifted) TJ's steering wheel at speed, though nothing as bad as what you describe. New tires solved it. But balancing would have solved it too. (But I wanted 32" tires on my Heap :-). -Elron |

The bigger the tire, or the bigger the imbalance the more magnified the pucker factor. You may have slung your weights. tw |

Re: 06 Jeep Wrangler X - Problem with Shimmy in Steering Wheel....
I took my Jeep to the dealer today, and they replaced the steering
dampner/linkage at no charge. It took two trips, but it looks like this was the problem. They did not find this problem, the first time around. Finally, the steering is much much better. I'll run this jeep on the freeway later today, to give it a good test run. All I can say...my THANKS!!!!, to this group and their suggestions. The "Technical Service Bulletin" made the difference.

Re: 06 Jeep Wrangler X - Problem with Shimmy in Steering Wheel....
Thanks for the followup!
That sure is strange for a new vehicle to need a damper to keep it tracking. It must be running on the borderline for alignment to set off the shimmy. I have managed to keep the alignment good enough on my CJ7 for the last ten years that I didn't even realize I don't have a functioning damper and never had. It is an empty tube with a rod sticking out. I just got a dual shock setup for it that I need to install, it aught to drive wicked on the trails with a steering shock on my 33's.

PSYCHOPATHIC PERSONALITY AN ENDEMIC SOCIAL DISEASE, A MASK OF SANITY This introduction to "alien reaction machines" in human form describes individuals with Anti-Social Personality Disorder (APD), Sociopaths, and Psychopaths. (In referring to these entities below, I use "that" instead of "who" to reinforce the distinction between machine-like reactions and normal human behavior.) There is considerable overlap of symptoms as medical researchers have refined the classifications. One of the links below provides detailed distinctions among these definitions. It also includes an extensive bibliography. In this essay, next, however, the older, generic term "psychopath" is used. A psychopath is a person who appears normal on the surface, until he/she performs some outrageous criminal act. At that point it has been customary to label the behavior as temporary "insanity", but that is a legal term, not a medical one. The prison psychiatric hospital environment greatly reduces the options for the new patient to make the kind of independent decisions that caused the original trouble in open society. In this controlled environment he/she appears normal, shows no overt signs of psychosis, passes all probing tests with flying colors, and is discharged as "cured". On the street again, more crimes are committed, and the cycle repeats. Thus, these individuals fall through the cracks between law and medicine. Most people, including judges and juries, are still unable to make the distinction that not all prison inmates are psychopaths and not all antisocial individuals are convicted criminals. The links below can be confusing unless one is aware that the label "psychopathic personality" was the original descriptive term for today's aggressive "antisocial personality". The new euphemism is an obfuscation of an unpleasant truth about people we are forced to deal with on a daily basis. It is difficult for all of us, especially when associating with disruptive school children, whose unearned "self esteem" must be protected at all costs. In the literature one can expect to see both the new and the old terms, without much distinction between them. Western industrial civilization has developed a complex set of rules of behavior for its citizens. These rules have evolved from the need for cooperative organization in order to produce the goods and services actually needed by society for minimum survival as a group, and also to produce the intangible benefits that make that survival tolerable for the individual. It makes most sense to reserve the greatest rewards to those individuals who produce the most goods and services of the highest quality. Most people understand they need specialized training for any role above some minimum level, and they must compete for that training, and later compete on the job itself. They understand that the need for group survival dictates the rules of the game, and they must not disrupt the group process by uncooperative, dishonest, unethical, or violent behavior, or flagrant violation of the rules. Psychopaths believe they are "entitled" to the lifestyle benefits of Western Civilization that most people only hope for as a potential reward for outstanding job performance, organizational loyalty, and smooth cooperation with other members of a team. Psychopaths can't or won't work at the high performance level that might logically provide upscale benefits. At a lower level where they might be more qualified, they feel that any menial, boring, dirty, or disgusting WORK is "beneath" them. Thus, whether at a high level or low level, any meaningful, honest "work" is a dirty word to a psychopath. With extraordinary assistance from motivated parents, some more intelligent, but still antisocial people can and do gravitate to higher-paid management, politics, or the professions, where power and prestige can be significant ego enhancers. However, they are always "close to the edge" emotionally, and are likely to abuse ---, drugs, and alcohol. Also, they may tend to "seek out" excuses to deliberately over-indulge, in order to remove temporarily the stifling "mask of sanity" that never quite fits. Then, when "under the influence" they are more likely to exhibit aggressive, violent, and/or bizarre behavior in inappropriate public places. This odd behavior is the key classic sign of acute dysfunction. Some reference books provide fascinating case histories describing typical incidents. When one realizes that the antisocial syndrome is pervasive in today's society, what protection is available to the average adult citizen? How can one know the alien body snatcher before any actual overt criminal act? There are two simple test tools available to any perceptive, educated adult: The tools are contrived casual conversation and unobtrusive observation. With these tools one can make a simple first screening test to possibly rule out psychopathic personality in public officials or others: The psychopath is a dangerously clever "alien reaction machine" that has practiced giving all the correct answers. However, much of that verbal practice will have taken place in institutions or in dysfunctional families in lower-class neighborhoods. When those same answers are given in upscale surroundings, they come out as contrived falsehoods. Another clue is that the alien machine will not take responsibility, but will tend to "blame others" for misfortunes with drugs, sexual partners, bosses, co- workers, authorities, or whatever. Also, the full-blown psychopath is NEVER altruistic or ethical (except by accident), but may be shrewd enough to pretend altruism as sham behavior (to attract votes). By accepting a psychopath's statements at face value, without cross- checking public records or other sources, a careless or inattentive interviewer can fail to pick up on the frequent lies. For example, to trip up corrupt politicians or self-described "experts", sometimes it is only necessary to compare two different answers to the same or similar questions repeated on two or more different occasions, without involving external sources at all. Any pattern of lies will stand out as outside the norm of ethical conduct. By itself, this discrepancy is insufficient to classify the individual as antisocial, but it is an indication that other tests should be made. * * * * * |
