Replace all the worn out parts and get a 4 wheel alignment.

As much as I like jeeps, I have to agree.

Is a bike not a vehicle?

​@@Tendeez difference being that you are most likely dead on a bike while you are fine in a car

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''...

@@Tendeezno, a bike is a device for homosexual men

@sirmounted8499 no that's electric motorbikes

Ouh

All solid front axel 4x4 vehicles can experience this problem u goof.

@user-dq3jk9py4q And Ford isn't the bottom of the barrel trash? You goof.

@@aaabbb-py5xd No, not really. Dodge has always been the cheapest built of the big three. They had great engineering until the early 80s, then they got cheap as hell, then Daimler merged with Chrysler and they started building the Dodge trucks like Fords. Ford over-engineers their stuff so the parts are more expensive and harder to replace than they should be... and GM is usually right in the middle.

@@user-dq3jk9py4q It's most common with 4-link coil spring suspensions like Ford and Dodge use currently. I've never seen a leaf spring set up do it.

@@livewire2759 And since KZbin hides or deletes comments, I have no idea what you're replying to

It’s behind the drag link. Can’t see it from this angle

These don't use panhard bars, they have a 4-link set up with the top links angled inward to control sideways movement. It works fine until parts start to wear out...

Death wobble is quite common on jeeps, been happening for decades.

The wooble of DEATH is something every Jeep owner can look foward to if they own it long enough. Little advice... Stay in front of all Jeeps, as this can happen at anytime and Jeepers get surprised a lot of times and lock em up!

Ahead of it's time

I mean incorrect symptoms for those problems

If that were the case it would vibrate/shake constantly. The "death wobble" comes and goes for no apparent reason. It's quite common on coil spring/solid front axle suspensions when parts get worn.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

how many miles per year you running ?

@@xquakexx Not many, but they are dirt roads

Edit...Oh......and keep the tire pressures good. Don't be the lazy mud truck guy at the town bar with a 200 dollar beer tab and 6:baby mommas and 3 flat tires cause ya too lazy to get the rims to seal right....lol

Edit again.....15 year member of multiple state and national trail riding organizations........ok......"flame suit on"......

This is what I'm thinking on my Xj add some toe

for real. what a m0ron

What hubs?

@@xquakexx Show me how to unlock the hubs on an xj. I'll wait.

@@coltonthorne4086 All my comments were deleted because jeep owners are dumb

There are no hub locks on a cherokee, they have full time hubs.

You may check front and rear sway bar bushings and link bushings. My rear sway bar links were shot and my Jeep liked dance a little when I was on a curved freeway ramp that had a bump where the road section joints were....

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!

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.

Yeah ok chief.....

How about a curve ball answer… Only “known” for this issue due to (typically) poor maintenance or someone set up a lift wrong. They’re not any less dependable than most other vehicles in the suspension department. I’ve actually been “4-wheeling” in a few 4x4 (awd) corollas. The Jeep is more capable. Owned and driven many of both (Corollas and Jeeps).

Oh boy another toyta brand loyalty sheep... yikes

Well its a mild case then. Wait till you have a real one.

I've been in a I beam ford that did it so bad the tires bounced off the ground and survived. Itll OK 🤣

The 4.0 in those old jeep Cherokee xj’s are more reliable than most modern day vehicles. Mine has 390k miles and still running strong.

Yep. I had 348,000 on mine when I sold mine. No oil leaks, no lifter noise or any other internal engine noises for that matter. Shouldn't have sold it Lol 4.5" long arm lift, 33's, onboard air compressor, 8,000 lb winch etc. zero rust.

Yes

It's a solid front axle thing. I think pickup trucks can get it too.

@@johnc8327I’ve driven pickups my whole life and never had this happen. I’ve had it happen on a motorcycle though. That scares the sh outta ya.

@@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.

Ford has the same problem. I have a 250 diesel doing the same thing.

and then let it get so worn out that it would not stop the thing that it was intended to do lol

That's a steering damper. It's to reduce kickback when off-roading.

The Toyota would have the same problem eventually. It's not a brand issue, it's a worn out suspension issue.

4runner is IFS. All the other comments say this is a solid ax 0:59 ial thing and jeeps happen to suck at staying together, trust me I own one. BTW lower ball joints on Tacoma and 4runners are what you gotta look out for.

@@samtackett9058 Yes I saw a taco roll on the interstate at like 70 mph. The one front tire was flying left and right over and over and then it left the highway and rolled.

so it's not just me getting it reccommended

​@@winterhtech That makes 3 of us.

The suspension is what is wobbling, the engine is stationary in relation to the suspension.

Worn control arm bushings

You're right, that engine was definitely moving. Look at the hose to the right of it in relation to the frame.

@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 Engines always move. Typically they're only attached by 1 or 2 giant bushings to the frame then to the transmission of course. You literally do not want an engine to be stationary in the frame, it needs to bend and flex with the entire drive train to prevent damage. Engine movement is normal.

The wobble is exactly as I stated before not sure why you are choosing to ignore the issue at hand here. Engine mounts can and do go bad but that causes excess engine wobble not suspension like you see here. You are less likely to notice bad engine mount bushings versus the obviously extremely worn out suspension bushings in this video.

No, it will happen on your Chevrolet if you let your control arm bushings go bad. Typical Chevy owner ignorance.
