Caught the Bug
I’m really at a loss and looking for something. I have a 19 JLUR and I’ve been fighting a steering wheel shimmy to full on death wobble. It only happens at slow speeds when hitting a bump with just one tire or both when it’s not dead on the bump. I’d say up to 35 mph. It requires me to slow to about 5-10 mph to get it to stop and mainly only happens when it’s cold. Here’s what I’ve done so far to defeat this really annoying issue. It’s been happening for months now off and on. I’ve tightened the balljoints, replaced the draglink, tierod, Trackbar, power steering pump, steering box, checked wheel bearings, control arms, checked alignment caster 6.6 6.8 degrees toe is set in 1/8”, tires are balanced. The whee is smooth until it starts. I have done the stabilizer recall twice, AD then AE part numbers. This one is so frustrating because everything is tight on the jeep. The lift has 10k miles on it. I’m at 4” of lift. It all just started one day around 9k miles on the jeep. Before that it was solid all the time. Does anyone have any ideas? I’m honestly at a loss now. I’m wondering if the frame is actually flexing and causing it. The frame is so much thinner on a JL then a JK. I’m at this point just guessing but would love some ideas or input. I might try an aftermarket stabilizer and the synergy Trackbar brace next but at this point I’m just throwing money at a problem.
