Re: Wobble after bumps
 

Have your hub bearings checked. I bought a 93 XJ in 98 and the first day
driving down the road, I hit a bump and I got death wobble big time. Luckily
I had the extended warranty. The dealer had to replace some worn hub
bearing(s). Good Luck.

Re: Wobble after bumps
 

Have the track bar checked also. It holds the front axle from moving
side to side and has bushings (that can wear/fail) at both ends. Had
the DW on a 95 GC and a new track bar fixed the problem. The
stabilizer justs damps out the problem before it can get too violent.
You have to find the cause (worn parts).

My mechanic has seen the same DW problem (track bar)on Corvettes.
