Re: 2004TJ front end wobble
I had an 03' Jeep Wrangler X that started with the DW's at around
35k and my first encounter was on the highway
in rush hour traffic at around 50mph.
I discovered that if I accelerated rapidly through 50mph to 60 or higher, it
was not much of a problem. But in traffic if I had to enter the 50mph mark
slowly then I was done for.
The stealership could not find anything wrong with the vehicle, other than
to tell me that I had to rotate my tires every 3,000 miles.
I was running Goodyear MTR's and at 45k those tires were toast.
So I switched to a street tire (BFG radial long trail T/A)and have
never had a problem since, the car runs so smooth that its hard to
believe your actually in a Jeep.
Of course I know that those street tires made me look like a wimp.
But with all the highway mileage I was putting on that car I had no choice.
My current vehicle is a Jeep Rubicon and it also has MTR's so I'm
waiting for the DW's to begin soon.
