death wobble and worn tires ???
i have a 2010 rig,never really had death wobble,well my tires are really worn 35 inch kuhmos mud terrains, and it has happened a few times,on highway when turning it will start shaking super bad and when i slow down it straightens out,is it cause the truck is getting old ,or the worn tires ? if i get new tires will that stop it,or is it something else, it never did it before

Go through and check all the nuts and bolts under the front end of the Jeep to make sure nothing is coming loose. After that, grease and check all the bushings in your control arms, track bars and sway bars. Once you make sure everything is tight and greased up, take it for a drive. If you still notice the wobble then it most likely is your worn tires.
Shoot me a PM if you have further questions!

Definitely torque your track bar down and keep the tires balanced but after fighting my death wobble fora few months I finally found a nice weekend to check the ball joints and both of my lowers were completely shot, got them replaced and have not had a single problem yet!...Knock on wood
