"Death" Wobble?

Re: "Death" Wobble?
The death wobble on my 92YJ was caused by a worn drag link joint and a loose
track bar mount on the frame side. First thing I did was have the tires
rebalanced and replace the steering stablizer. DW remained. I finally took
it into a good shop and they were able to pinpoint the cause. Be careful of
some so-called "mechanics". I had many recomendations, to include taking
off the track bar and the steering stabilizer. Don't take anything off.
Everything is on there for a reason.
Good luck.
