Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close
Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:50

owners know and fear the mythic — a shaking, jittering sensation in the front wheels that’s plagued . Drivers fear it, engineers hate it, and Stellantis has based on the problem’s prevalence within the Jeep brand.

We’ve seen before, showing just how aggressive it can be, but brings us a new angle: Shots from beneath the Jeep’s body, showing just how shaky things are.

Rocky Top Customz posted the clip to Instagram and YouTube, demonstrating the terror of the Death Wobble for all to see. Eagle-eyed viewers, however, may notice that there’s some uneven wear shown on this particular Jeep’s suspension — much of it has the sort of surface grime you’d expect from a daily driver, yet the springs are oddly clean.

That’s because, as Rocky Top Customz , this is no stock Gladiator. It’s been lifted by four inches, which the shop appears to blame for the truck’s rough handling. The addition of parts to correct the steering geometry, namely an aftermarket drag link and track bar relocation kit, apparently cleared the issue up.

While this particular Jeep has been remedied, the Death Wobble . Luckily, as Rocky Top Customz has shown, there’s a reliable solution: Lift your Jeep four inches, then apply these specific aftermarket suspension parts. Surely lifting the truck four inches will not cause you any other problems, particularly if it’s just a mall crawler you bought to get some wind in your hair. A lift kit will solve all your issues.

Should We Get Our Hopes Up About This Nissan 370Z Test Mule At The Nürburgring?
The current Nissan 370Z came out when most of us were still probably using flip phones, and while it’s fun, I think we can all agree it’s long overdue for a replacement. That replacement has been , but always without anything concrete—and claims from Nissan that the company needs...

The De Tomaso P72 Will Have A Supercharged, 700-HP American Heart

So it’s only appropriate the stunningly retro also follows suit with eight cylinders from Ford’s NASCAR partner. Back when we...

The Fiat Ritmo Was The Best-Looking Cheap Hatchback Of The Late 1970s. Fight Me
The mid-to-late 1970's, and into the 1980's, were the glory days of cheap, boxy hatchbacks from all over the world.
