RaptorMike Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 My dad who lives in Cali. has a 04-05 jeep wrangler X and it has aserious death wobble. This happens at around 40-45 mph and hit a bump, the death wobble occurs. He told me he heard of a shop in vegas for jeeps, but he couldnt remember its name. Can anyone help with this. Does anyone know a good place in vegas that can help him. He has taken to 2-3 shops and they cant figure it out. Thank you, Mike Quote
OGP Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 sounds like it needs a new steering stabilzer. Quote

If so, what kind (Terraflex,Rancho,ProComp, etc), how long ago was it installed, and who installed it? Quote

If so, what kind (Terraflex,Rancho,ProComp, etc), how long ago was it installed, and who installed it? I think it is a PrpComp lift and he bought it off the lot already lifted, was a package deal, dont know who lifted it. I f i can remember right, he already has had the steering stabalizer changed and tie rods ends checked. I can get more info from him. Quote

It's more than likely the track bar or steering bar, they wear and will do what your describing. We don't typically work on vehicles not built by us. But since you are a DDR member you can bring it by and we can check it out. Quote

I think the name of that shop is Back Country Products. Edited December 25, 2009 by Quicksilver Quote
TCS T Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 That will be awesome, i'll see when he can bring it up. I didn't realize the jeep was currently in Cali. Just PM me his location and I will try my contacts "in his area" to take a look at those items. Quote
