Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close
Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close-October 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.

Chrysler has been the butt of the joke for years now. It only sells two vehicles, and one of them was created before the stone age, etc. etc. But if you dive into its latest first quarter sales report, you notice something astonishing. Chrysler, the brand with two cars,...

Apparently, this is how a company called Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation tests the manhole covers and different kinds of street grates it builds for strength and durability.
