Jeep TJ Death Wobble

[SlugSlinger]

There are several things that haven't been touched on, as I've helped people with this issue before.
If your front spring and shackle bushings are worn replace them, second, take it to a shop that can check your tires for being out for round, don't laugh, you'd be surprised, and have them road force balanced, and if they take large amounts of weights to balance them reject the tire and get a new one. And finally, check the front diff/axle housing spring perch for cracks.

TJs don’t have shackles, probably why they haven’t been touched on.

I had a death wabble last weekend. A fifth of Gentleman Jack was the cause.

Do you have a print out of the alignment specs from your alignment?

It's an 04. No spring or shackle bushings in a linked suspension.

First thing to check is alignment. Fixing that fixed mine. Pretty simple on tjs.

Aren't there jeep forums that would be more helpful?

There's some of us here that have jeeps though If I spent money for an off road place to fix my death wobble and they didn't, I would have kept bringing it back lol. I've honestly never a had a vehicle with death wobble that we didn't figure out pretty quickly what the problem was.

I’m on my 5th Jeep. Had a CJ7, a YJ, a TJ, an LJ and now a JKU.. I swore I would never buy another one after the CJ7.

I had a JK and JKU, and swore I’d never get another.. but man those JLU’s look so nice, though so do the new broncos. Decisions decisions.
