re: Jeep question: death shake.

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.

The root problem is not the mud or the tire. It is the suspension/steering's inability to control that motion that starts the actual death wobble. I can drive with an egg in my tire with nothing but a vibration, but add in worn suspension/steering components and bad angles, and that becomes a problem
It's not just a vibration. It'll shake the steering wheel out of your hands and the pucker factor goes to 11 the first time it happens
