Re: 2004TJ front end wobble
Doug -
DW at any age: darn.
Steering stabilizer: never replaced. Shocks: never.
I also ready somewhere that tire/wheel balance and alignment can
trigger this, but usually there is a root cause, like worn parts
somewhere. This happens at like 30 to 35 miles per hour, never happens
at highway speeds, and doesn't seem to take effect at slower speeds -
you can feel there is a wobble but it doesn't persist, it gets damped
out.
I usually look to replace shocks and shock-like components around
50,000 miles - you think the Jeep needs this sooner to stay stable?
And thanks much for the response.

Dave -
I'll jack it up this eve and take a closer look. The tyre wear looks
okay - I rotated them at 8000, 16000, and then nothing until now, but
the wear pattern seems fine.
The vehicle is stock through and through. I wanted it for snow and
rains and bad on-road conditions and maybe someday for when I buy a
ranch in Colorado. But for now and pretty much until it is paid for,
it is highway-pampered.
