Have had two tires replaced under warranty, replaced wheel bearings, brakes and now have death wobble. It's going into APJs in a week to be diagnosed then see if I can get warranty replacement parts Get 'er ready for M.U.D! But Death Wobble wouldn't be a problem, no long hiway treks.

TomWood Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Trackbar actually looked good, had Dave crawling under it as well to check for movement. The funny thing is there wasnt any until the two wheel bearings were replaced, then it showed its ugly head lol. Hoping APJ's can find it and give me details on whats needed to fix. Definitely want it ready for MUD! I am up for a challenge and its been a few months since wheeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 How are the front tires looking, , any cupping, scallops or uneven wear? Have you tried rotating front tires to the rear and the backs on the front? Once had an issue with death wobble with a tight front end and tires were the issue. Sounds crazy , but worth a look, especially when the tires could have been worn to slack or loose wheel bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Had to take a flat into Chrysler for warranty, had a brand new one as my spare. Put both brand new never seen road tires on the front and it's smooth as hell. It was definitely the tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just took the time today and re-mounted the muffler on the Jeep. It ended up being a bit JDM but now it won't bounce around lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
