What's the name of that little shock absorber on the steering system?

Good luck with it. I never thought to handle mine under warranty.

They should be able to do it while you wait. If not, just do it your self. Two bolts. You can't screw this up.

Don't waste your time with another stock one. Upgrade to a beefier aftermarket one. They are not expensive.

How? I still hear about people complaining about death wobble, especially modified Jeeps. Maybe its not widely known.

Tons of info on death wobble and like you said especially with lifts. Typically a link is broken or loose and the experts on this board can help diagnose it in a snap. Because of this board I knew exactly where to look and located the leaking steering stabilizer in about 5 seconds.

And yes I know what a steering stabilizer is, for the dip shit who says I don't. Like I care either way though....
