all i can say is holy crap

so

driving home today on the freeway

everything was going swell like always



when BOOM

i get a severe death wobble



normally when i get one it goes away if i hit my brakes

but this one kept going and i had no clue why




slowing down to a crawl the wobble is getting worse and my steering response is going with it


so i pull off the side of the road and look at my front end to find out that my track bar is hanging off of my jeep


the bolt holding it to the axle was completely missing

so i limped home at 10 mph because its 11:30 here and all of the stores are closed D:





has anything like this happened to any of you?

do tell all of your most extreme stories

and sorry there arent any fotos


my camera is currently broken D:


but here is a picture of my jeep jsut incase anyone cares

You normally get death wobble with that jeep?

it has a 2" OME lift and about once every month or so i get one around 55-60 mph

guess now is the time to replace the track bar with an adjustable one

Damn man, that looks a hell of alot like my truck!


Haven't run across that on mine or my sister's, don't think Dad has had that happen to the two he owned. Have you had any repair work done on in it recently or really pissed somebody off that knows their way around a 4-link, solid axle Jeep?

check the tracbar mount on the frame side, my buddies came loose and it was the last thing we checked

maybe that last death wobble was jsut too much for a rusty bolt and nut and it finally gave

Or maybe a loose track bar bolt was causing the death wobble the whole time. Make sure the hole in the axle mount isn't egg shaped before you put in a new bolt. Also, make sure to use the correct size bolt.

I had similar right after i did my 4.5 lift. i just replaced the panhard bar/trac bar w/e u wanna call it and I only get wobble at round 50mph. but im pretty sure my wheels are jst outa balance.

hmmm me thinks you need to check all yer bolts or eat some more wheaties
