Fixing Jeep Death Wobbles - Doin' The Zombie Dance
Ball Joints and Hub Bearings
Worn ball joints or kingpin bushings or hub/unitbearings are a big cause of death wobble. Jack up the vehicle and grab the top and bottom of the tire and see if there is any lateral play in the ball joints or wheel bearings. TAG Motorsports in Escondido, California, has noticed a rash of prematurely-worn JK lower ball joints, but it can happen on any axle. If you've got an axle with serviceable wheel bearings, you can adjust the bearing preload. Unitbearings will need replacement since they're not adjustable. View Related Article
