I had the dreaded DW on the Jeep when I had it on loan from my dad a few years back. That scared the jeepers (no pun intended) outta me the first time as I'd never even heard of it!
The first shop I took it to said it was the u-joints, and fixing would be about $2K!
Went to a second shop and he asked point blank - how old are the tires? I said they were the originals, and a new set of 225/75/R15's were put on to test it for DW on a 30 minute drive across local roads, highway, and even some dirt trails. No more DW, so he said it was likely just old tires. I put a new set on (the ones he placed there for the test) and haven't had anything since.
