Death Wobble video
Not my jeep and I don't know who it is, but here's a clip so that anyone that thinks they might have death wobble can see what it really looks like.

Wow ! he is retardly stupid to even keep driving the thing if its doing that. Thats death something alright. Friends 89 YJ did that even when I drove it and never thought thats how it looked when it was happening. Actually watched the inside video and my experience of a death wobble was no where as intense as his. Thats crazy.

yep - thats death wobble
experienced it first hand and watched as someone else in the group had it.
I've had 3 experiences.... at 35mph plus... hit a bump. railroad crossing, pot hole etc... it starts & almost have to come to complete stop &/or turn wheel back & forth to stop...
each time different cause.
loose bolt somewhere in front suspension, drag link, track bar, control arm. and most recently bad hyme joint.
It can be scary as hell...
Usually fixed by crawiling underneath & tightening everything back up.

looks pretty bad, hope nobody else gets the wobbles, but you gotta wonder the jeep is rescue green. mine is natural green, wobble doesn't happen to natural green.
