Lol thanks

 

Thus, the reason I said "monitor" it. There are many factors that can contribute to invoking death wobble. No one has narrowed it down to just one item, since the knee bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the ankle bone, ankle bone is connected to the foot bone...etc. They all effect how you walk, and the same thing applies to your front suspension. I had low tire pressure contribute to DW.....so would you think starting at the Trackbar would be a good starting point in that instance or would you think checking your tire pressure might be a good starting point?

It's happened to him once in 8 months, I would have to lean towards "monitoring" it would be his best scenario instead of trying to bring it to a shop and having to pay to have them hunt down a ghost and even adjust something where it could end up making things worse.

 

Haha i didn't mean he should go out and buy a new trackbar or run to a shop with his check book. I simply meant take 5 minutes and check what arguably is the most common issue, and very simple and easy to do, and yes I do believe it is a better starting point (assuming you know that your tires aren't at 50-60 psi lol)

1. Have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth and while Jeep is stationary and see if the track bar has any play at either side (or other components)

2. Check to see track bar is torqued to spec.

That's all.......then monitor it

 

I feel the love, good lookin out guys. I will follow all suggestions.

 

DW can be part of owning a vehicle with a solid axle. Often there can be items that are aligned incorrectly, loose or worn that can cause DW to happen more frequently. For those items, do a search on forum member "Planman" or better yet visit YouTube. Planman seems to be very knowledgeable and has made some great posts and also made some Youtube videos on how to go about diagnosing some of those problem. Even with all his expert knowledge, there are some instances he can't even explain. DW can also be triggered by hitting a pot hole or having low tire pressure as I mentioned previously. If you have a stock suspension and your JK is relatively new, then chances are you might not have anything mechanically wrong. So just monitor it, check your tire pressure and take note of the conditions of what might have triggered it if it happens again.
