    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    I'm not sure the new RC forged track bar will fit the OE frame track bar mount?

    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    So I have an update. The toe out test resulted in no difference in the onset or severity of the wobble. I installed the Rough Country forged track bar with their updated design drop bracket. We realigned the Jeep and with the adjustable track bar I can now get the thrust angle to zero. Took...

    I never had a chance today to really do any more than take the pics. It was crazy busy in the shop with customers. I will for sure tomorrow, hopefully early and I'll post the results. Thank you, again

    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    This morning I took closer pics and posted then I ordered the RC forged heavier duty track bar which comes with a different style drop bracket. A local 4x4 shop stocks it. The bar is currently laying on the ground in front of the Jeep trying to get to it. It's crazy busy in the shop...

    I believe you are correct but I defer to the experts, which I am not here.

    It very predictably drives smooth until 50 mph. Above 55 on any highway/freeway regardless of the pavement type the steering wheel will begin to shake violently back and forth after hitting even the slightest bump. The issue can happen at an even slower speed if you are driving around a curve...

    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    Thank you for your ideas. I agree there was nothing I changed to start all of this. It just started a couple months ago and has been getting worse and now is predictable to start at 50-55 after going over the slightest bump every time. There is nothing obviously loose but something is clearly...

    And it was commented that ONLY a RC track bar will work with a RC lift kit and RC track bar drop bracket. I definitely do NOT currently have a RC track bar in there right now.

    Does installing the track bar on the lift with the suspension hanging vs. replacing it on the drive on lift with the suspension loaded make a difference in this?

    "We can fix this together most likely." I like that about this community. Thank you. Now just to decide what to try next on Monday. Upper arm bushings at axle end, new RC lower arms (would have to order and wait), new oe pitman, remove track bar drop bracket, different track bar...

    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    You would suggest I next remove the drop pitman for a factory, remove the drop track bar bracket, and keep the new OE style track bar? I still have not replaced the RC lower control arms (but they look pretty damn tight) and I have not replaced the upper control arm bushings at the axle end as...

    If the problem is tires I cant imagine what else I can to to resolve that with all I've done to eliminate tires as the problem I do not have a RC track bar currently. If the kit came with one it's gone now. I'm not sure if it came with one but I dont think so. Today I checked the torque on...

    Help diagnosing death wobble on 2004 Wrangler

    Give me a little more info on what your thinking. The kit does have a drop pitman and the drop track bar bracket. Not sure what joint type the all the new track bars have but there was no wobble with the current pitman or drop bracket from RC for years. Could the pitman or drop bracket create...

    You think that could be it if that's the drop bracket and pitman that been there for years with never a wobble? Just wondering.

    I can go 50 or even 55 on perfectly smooth pavement but as soon as there is a even a little bump it starts and builds over the course of 10 seconds or so until it shakes so hard I cant steer. The wobble onset is even faster if I'm going around a minor curve and hit the smallest bump at 50+...
