So just recenly i put a new rough country steering stabilizer on my jeep. Love the feel of it and it coverd up my death wobble for now. But the day after i put it on the steering wheel and whole jeep begans to wobble at 55 mph? Doesnt do it a 50 mph or 60 mph... Checked for loose bolts dont know what else to do... Had the tires balanced about a month ago. Any ideas what it could be?

I had a wobble after my 2.5 lift was put on everytime I hit bumps in the road. I loosened all the control arm bolts and track bars the day after I had already torqued them and retorqued them and it solved my issue. Just check the bushings too

Already retorqued everything under there. Any other ideas? Toe? Caster? Alignment?

Speed related wobble is very often due to tires being out of balance. A steering stabilizer does not cure anything like death wobble. It only covers it up. The cause is still there.

Alright well i'll take it in to discount tire this week. And i know about the steering stabilizer not "curing" death wobble only cover up the real problem. Im just hoping it covers it up a little longer untill i can save up a little cash.

Robar

OK, I must have misunderstood when you said it cured your death wobble.

JK yeti

Thats ok shouldn't have said cured.. Would ball joints have anything to do with the wobble?

Robar

Yes. Worn ball joints can be a cause of death wobble.

Every wobble starts with something that rotates and is out-of-round or out-of-balance or both.

Once the wobble starts:

• loose bolts,
• bad bushings,
• worn ball joints,
• worn tie rod ends,
• loose shock mounts,
• wheels bearings,
• a worn steering box,
• loose or shot steering damper
• and pretty much anything else that moves

can allow the wobble to keep going and even amplify until you pull over and start scratching your head
