🦗🦗🦗🦗 I think ah heck I don't know . Maybe just went and got it fixed correctly
I know the idea that someone who argued for 3 pages at least out of 7 pages actually took some seasoned advise and is as we speak checking for loose parts and torqueing bolts and nuts and looking for stressed metal( cracks) ripped grease boots etc... is almost in and of itself laughable. I can only hope 🙏 I would hate to hear someone wrecked cause they took the advise from a dealer who doesn't even go Jeeping.

The likelihood is they’ll get away with a less than ideal steering setup, as so many do. But if not, hopefully the on knows to hit the brakes if genuine death wobble occurs, as it’s the only real way to get it to stop.

My old XJ had a wore out tie rod end and death wobble developed in the middle of a 5 day wheeling/camping trip in the high sierras. After having to slow to a near stop way too many times I figured out if I hammered the throttle at the slightest sign of a shimmy and got above 70mph it wouldn't go into death wobble. Probably not the move the vast majority are willing to try, but it worked for me. Not advising anyone do the dumb things I do, but you never know where the limit is if you don't find it sometimes.

Same. Don’t follow my lines, but please take pictures if I make it.

What's a raised pothole 🤔 our potholes go down below the surface of the roadway ???
Basically, a mound in the street. Whoever did the pothole repair didn't tamp it down level.

There aint a highway stretch barely long enough to get to 100mph & in the second most forested state in the Union I think I will strongly pass.
Reminds me of one of the speed limits in our area - if you can reach that speed in that stretch (let alone keep it on the road), I've got a trophy for you.

The repair was raised, not the pothole - I think he was not putting a pause in when he read that.
Going around Indianapolis a couple of years back, there was a hellish hole in the pavement - big enough to drop a 35" tire into, and with sharp edges. Just a couple of feet away, while you were trying to miss that hole, was the chunk that came out of it. I really hope no one hit that!
