Jeep found the fix for death wobble
- Thread starter tomtaylz
- Start date
The owner of the shop that works on all our vehicles, when it's beyond my abilities, used to be a mechanic for a Dodge dealer that was put out of business by the government.
He told me that back when he was there they had tons of DW problems on the Dodge trucks with the straight axles. It was so bad that Chrysler eventually sent out engineers to explain the problem and how to fix it.
They said the problem was the negative Scrub Radius on those trucks. To fix it they had were told to use wheel spacers to get the scrub radius to zero, they did that and they never had a repeat problem.
I've never seen negative scrub radius on a Wrangler so I'm not sure how this connects to Wrangler DW, but I'm sure this new fix will result in:
Fix
It
Again

Probably AFTER warranty.
