My wifes 00XJ has HORRIBLE deathwobble. It happens almost dead on at 50 mph. If you run it up to 55, then back off, soon as it hits 52-50 it starts. If you keep it at 50, it continues to get worse and so bad it even scarred me. Almost to the point of losing control. Other times you do the same thing, and it wont shimmy at all. I'd say 4 out of 5 times, it had deathwobble.
I have changed the front drivers axle U joint because it was toast. I changed the sway bar bushings because they looked like it was slipping. No I am lost. NOTHING else in the front looks bad. Anything that was questionable, I checked against my XJ and they seemed the same (ball joint looseness, etc)
Could it be a tire out of balance? I have tired 3 different tires on the front, swapping them around and no difference. Could it be something inthe rear end? This is a completely stock XJ. It had a little wobble around 50 for a week or two, then it turned into this.
Please help!
