death wobble with a 99 tj sport
I have a 99 tj sport with a 5 speed stick shift with a 2.5 spacer lift
and keep getting the death wobble almost every day for about 2 weeks
now and it is getting old the death wobble comes at about 45 to 50 mph
after I go over a bump and it comes some times when on the highway
going about 45 + when you turn only right but very rarely it will
happen when you turn left so any help will very munch helpful.

I would be checking out the track bar or it's relocating bracket
thinking it has come loose or it's bushings are broke. The track bar
has a tie rod end on it too that can go bad.
Something is likely loose though.

I'd first check to make sure all the suspension bits are tight. Or it could
be a dead shock.

Finally got around to replacing my steering dampener. It hasn't wobbled
since I got a new set of BFG KO's. The old SD was completely shot. Now
the steering wheel doesn't shake a few times over bumps like it used to.
Now for some track bar bushings to stop the clunk over bumps.
And, it seems it's not a crackhead in the 'hood. It's juveniles! Chased a
couple girls from the tennis courts last night that were trying to break
things. A quick drive around the 'hood found a bunch of juvies lighting
fireworks. Next time they show up, there won't be anything to steal except
a dead lighter with "ha ha, f*cker" written on it! Bastards!!!
