It might be your shocks... but I'd check to see if maybe hitting that hole caused some damage to the track bar mounts, the tie rods, control arms, or anywhere on the steering knuckle. Check to make sure your tires are balanced, and the Jeep is still in alignment as well. With Death Wobble...

Google "Novak Jeep Conversions", you can find several options, as well as some good information.

The Jeep is 18 years old, and has been in a desert since it was born -- running in some pretty brutal heat for that long can take it's toll on the cooling system. I burped the system by filling it up through the upper radiator hose, and took the Coolant Temperature sensor out of the back of the...

Hello Everyone! So, a couple weeks ago I decided to flush my coolant system. The electric fan had stopped working, and so I decided that I would get a new one, and go ahead and flush the radiator/coolant system while I was at it. So, I did. I bought the prestone flush 'n fill kit, and flushed...

I have a 92 Cherokee 4.0 - and mine's on the bottom of the radiator, passenger side. It's diffcult to unscrew. Be careful when your unscrewing it, or you'll break it - that will cost you a new radiator.

Thanks for all of the responses everyone! I'm going to be putting some 31 x 10.5's on -- while I'm at it I'm going to change the ball joints since it's pretty much the only thing I haven't done. I've noticed lately that there are tiny crack marks on the sidewalls of my tires, which pretty much...

Hello all- I've been noticing a kind of "clunking" noise as I'm coming to a stop coming from my front end. It's not very loud at all, but it's getting louder as time goes on. I thought it was a bad wheel bearing at first - i put the jeep up on stands, and pulled outward on both tires to see if...

I put a 3" lift on my 92 XJ, and I am interested in putting some bigger tires on it. I have decided that I could put some tires that Measure 31 /10.50 w/ 15" Rims. However, I'm finding out that finding rims to fit these tires is kinda confusing. What backspacing would be necessary to get...

I use Seafoam... It's 100% petroleum solvent. you can pick it up at just about any parts store around here (utah).. even Wal-Mart has it. Wait until it's about time to change your oil, put a whole can of it straight into your oil, and drive about 100 miles. Don't leave it in for over a week, as...

If you can grab onto the caliper after you've bolted it on, shake it around, and make it move... it would seem to me that your threads are damaged. You can usually buy a pair of caliper bolts cheaper at your local hardware 2store... I snapped the a caliper bolt on my jeep while putting them back...

After every suspension/steering piece I replace the wobble has decreased in frequency, and also in character of occurence. i.e., Before, it would wobble almost every time I hit a bump, and was going <40 MPH. After I replaced the worn control arm bushings, and got an alignment it has stopped...

If I were to get new tires, what size would be the best to reduce the chance of DW? I have the stock 15 inch rims.

Carolina - I have not replaced my p/s pump. It's not showing any signs of being worn out (doesn't make noise when i turn the wheel, never gives out) I replaced my rotors, and still have the death wobble. I don't think it will ever go away... Could it be that I need a drop pitman arm? All...

My ball joints are fine, the wheel bearings and hubs are fine... I just bought new rotors today because the ones I have on are warped. At first I thought it was the wheel bearings making a noise while driving, but it was the rotors.... So, I'll put those on and see if it makes a difference. I...

I'm also wondering if worn ball joints would cause this, also, my sway bar does not have the extension pieces and it was difficult to put back on after the lift, would that be a factor?

In the summer of '09 I put a 3" inch lift on my cherokee. I know better now, but I kind of did a "bargain lift" I bought new shocks, and coil springs for the front, and extension blocks for the leaf springs in the back. Immediately after I finished, I noticed a slight wobble in the front axle...
