Pretty sure it’s happening on non lifted JLs also. Wow I hadn’t heard/seen anybody put 37s on the stock suspension. Not sure that would even be possible. Hmm
Jeep Wrangler JL Death Wobble Lawsuit
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
I wonder if the JK crowd experienced this same kind of crap when the '07 models were released?
"LOL WHY DOES MY MPG SUCK??!?!?!!"
OP
I wouldn't doubt it at all. I still hear it all the time from Wrangler owners asking how they can get better MPGs and such. That's pretty much the same as asking how your Prius can keep up with a Ferrari
at least according to my neighbor it's happening even with stock JLUs

I haven't followed up with him so I don't know if it's a tire out of balance or what, or whether or not he got it 'fixed', but he was fairly adamant that it wasn't just a vibration...

Does anyone else wait to see a wave from a JL or JK before doing it yourself? I find that I get about 25% wave-back from those owners.
It's kind of like when I'm on my street bike and see a Harley coming. It's not like we are on bad terms, I just never know if im going to be acknowledged from someone riding something different than me. 1st world problems these days.....

I think you could go into most Jeep dealerships and tell them that you're window doesn't roll all the way up and they would suggest a steering stabilizer.The funny thing is that nearly everyone on the JL Forums (and apparently a lot of the dealerships as well) are trying to fix the issue with new "upgraded" steering stabilizers
I'm not entirely sure how the steering works on those JLs, but from what I've been reading, it's electronically controlled, so it has to be configured or calibrated (something like that) with the systems the dealership has.
Also, what I've noticed is that a lot of the people complaining about this issue are the ones who went out and put 37" M/T tires on their bone stock rig.
you show me a bad solution and I'll show you somebody that doesn't know how to diagnose the problem.
That's a notable point . We are all out here trying to resurrect , improve and love on every Jeep we have ...and the new owners are suing the company .
I think we should too, for discontinuing the TJ series . Chris can head it up.
Well I now have a Rare 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited that does not have death wobble, it has to be worth $32,000.99!
OP
The waving thing is overrated. I could care less about it really. If someone waves, I wave back. If not, then I just move on with my day
Everyone waves at me with one finger .The waving thing is overrated. I could care less about it really. If someone waves, I wave back. If not, then I just move on with my day

You mean you dont enjoy the "Should I wave?" threads??
Did you guys see the deal in JP magazine where the guy wrote in and said due to his tinted windows he couldn't always Jeep wave so he was flashing his lights at people and wanted to know if that was okay.
I was sort of like...are you serious that you think you need to get someone to sign off on this?
if you flash your lights at me I'm going to slow down and look for a cop.

We're very fortunate we seldom get those on this forum. Head over to the JK or JL hangouts and they occur multiple times a day sometimes!
First world problems, right?
Cute ain't it !But it means something different when I do it and you are supposed to understand that!
