The front frame rails have to be strenghten, and make sure your steering box is not loose on rotation/backlash. Also focus on the steering box mounting to be as thick as possible.

Well, tell that to the 250,000 people with that ''Wobble''. There's never been a death reported to the issue, but there has been a number of accidents that included injuries. Most of those accidents & injuries may have been avoided if the drivers knew what to do when that happens to them... If you call a repair shop and tell them your vehicle has a wobble, they might not know what the issue is, but when you add ''Death'' to ''Wobble'', any shop experienced with it, they'll probably ask you, ''What year Jeep Cherokee do you have''...

@nagadsby94137 ай бұрын
I’ve had that happen on many different lifted 4x4 vehicles. Some are “just part of the experience” and some were improper geometry. One or two ended up being worn suspension components (tie rods/balljoints). Check them all for wear, check shocks, and finally tire pressures. If all check out, start looking into alignment/geometry. You can do most in a home garage with minimal tools (minus maybe a camber alignment). Try to get as close to factory spec geometry as you can. Good luck!
@SiMaster20037 ай бұрын
Most likely due to solid axles front and back. When you hit a bump with a solid axle both sides of the axle react even if only side hit the bump and the vehicle will unsettle. If you've driven independent front or both suspension vehicles up till now it's definitely noticeable.

I remember working on the front end of a Dodge Charger when I used to work at a body shop. Two links were the lower control setup which also were used as the steering components. We had to "burp" the power steering system after replacing some parts of the system, and the front end worked its way to one side. Don't know what made Chrysler think having suspension components also work as steering components was a good idea, especially on a high performance vehicle

@@TheYamahog12 motorcycle wobble is different and stabilizes once you give it a bit of extra throttle for the spin of the wheel to straighten it back out via gyroscopic force. scary? fucking absolutely, i had to take a 3 day break from riding the first time it happened to me. but when it happens in a car like this, it’s almost always at 50mph+ and there’s nothing you can do about it except lift your foot and grip the wheel like it’s the only thing holding you to the earth. jeeps are infamous, but bigger pickup trucks with solid axles can struggle with it too.
