i guess i lucked out in my 2000 XJ (4.0/4x4)--i have 12-year-old tires on it with great tread because i hardly ever drive it. but the front ones were apparently f'ed and caused a serious wobble between about 30 and 60mph.

I rotated front to back and voila! (or "wala"--see OT thread from a few weeks ago). sounds like most death wobbles are more serious though.

my current issue is a vibration when idling/going slowly. replaced the usual sensor suspects. trying spark plugs next.

Had it in my XJ. Was a tire that caused the problem. It was bad from the get go. No matter how many wheel weights were added, it would throw them off in a short time. The dealer made the tire good and all well after that unless I get a shite load of mud stuck on the inside of a tire. That happens all the time.
