For some expert analysis regarding the death wobble of my Jeep. It's almost to the point where I can't drive it safely and there isn't a shot in hell that I'm going to LightLine.

Recommend talkig directly to Phillip - owner. Others are good but IMHO he is the best. good luck. I have a TJ and have not experienced that yet but heer it is not fun! There is also alot of good information on this condition on the jeep forum if interested. Good luck!

Good luck!!My neighbor had his there for while for the same reason. Think his was the track bar and a bent tie rod.

What lift do you have?

Sorry to hear about the death wobble. That shite is scary. I would never want to experience that in my Jeep.
So what was your experience with LL that made you steer clear? I agree that I think Searchers is better, but I didn't see anything about LL that was terrible. I think their 'customer service' could be a little better...

I had it on my F250 when I got it to the tune of this
Watch the whole video
$2500 worth of joints and a new steering stabilizer fixed it.
With lifted stuff, it typically is a combo of the angle between the track bar and drag link and worn out joints from bigger tires
On the contrary, Phil is a really nice guy and barely charges over magazine prices for stuff

Their stuff is typically marked up at least 100% over cost, and the main thing is Ricky is one of the biggest assholes I have ever met. I even had to sign a non-compete paper stating that I couldn't even work on my family's cars

they hassle me about why I didn't have them install my lift, or why I didn't use them to order my front bumper just to name a few.

here is a video I took today of my death wobble. I have no idea what Jim Rome is talking about in the background.
