[shooterrob]

i have the same problem 50 miles a hour shakeing, checked the steering damper i could pull it in and out with some resistence how strong should it be before you know its bad.and i checked the track bar didn't see much movement their but i have lots of play in the steering box.I first had shaking in the rear end thought my gears where gone turned out u joint was stuck wouldn't turn changed it and the truck was good,i checked the front u joints they turn fine so i didn't change them as any body fixed DW with u joints or should i look else where

Steering Stablizer should be hard to pull out and push in. Look for controll arm bushings, sway bar bushings, tie rod ends and ball joints. Play in the steering box can cause the death wooble in some cases. They dont recomend adjusting it in the jeep. I have heard that some have adjusted some of the play in the Jeep with the wheels on the ground. Also make sure your tires are balanced and vechile is alligned. Try rotating your tires and check the Axle Cv Joints for wear. I just went through the Wooble with my XJ for the 2nd time and replaced the control arm bushings and stablizer among sway bar bushings and rotating my tires. Tie rods and ball joints were good.

I had death wobble and elliminated it by replacing the Tie rod ends.

i took it in to the dealership said everything look good so it would just be a guess on anything they did.the scary part is i loaded a couch into my jeep and the shake or death wobble was gone, and now with the couch out it's almost unnoticable i give up for sale 94 grand never taken over 100 km lol
