So rather than violently shaking, you're experiencing a loss of steering and it feels like the front is washing out? I'll be honest, this doesn't sound like death wobble at all.
Yeah, DW is violent side to side shaking of tires and steering wheel. Back and forth, a wobble you can't stop without slowing way down or stopping, steering wheel violently goes left right left right.......
Food for thought. Just because it looks stock doesn’t mean it always was. It was sold to Carmax with 15k on it. Previous owner could have lifted but wanted to change trims and pulled the aftermarket back off of this one while half assed reinstalling the stock equipment or worse used questionable stock equipment he got off of marketplace so he could sell his lift.
Mine just starting doing that. Only at highway speeds and if I hit a pretty good expansion joint or pot hole. More of a shaking, not the death wobble I've heard about. 21k miles, all stock.
Ok, well i wasted 2 trips to Colorado Springs taking the jeep to Carmax to look at with minimal expectations.
Just one last update after getting back from my Jeep dealer. They found a dead spot in the steering stabilizer and replaced it. Did an alignment and wheel balance and i am good to go.
