    Hey guys! I have a situation where I bought my TJ and had the whole death wobble situation so I thought going with a HEIM steering kit would help and it did not if anything made it worse.

    I know this question had been beaten too many times but I’m having trouble and can not find a solid answer... Going 70mph in sunny hot Florida I hit a pot hole and experienced full on death wobble. Cool. The same day I ordered a new track bar, steering stabilizer, tie rod, and drag link...

    Death wobble with new track bar

    Hi everyone, I am a new member to the forum and have owned my first TJ for about six months. Love the Jeep, but I’m having a serious problem with death wobble.

    Just installed a 3.25" lift and 2 days on the road it happened... Death Wobble. Wow, don't want that to happen again.
