[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 810442, member: 16057"] I owned a cherokee once. It had a death wobble that was caused by bad/worn balljoints. Well, new ones made the problem go away anyway. Then I got rid of it. What you experienced in your truck is death wobble. Could be from bad balljoints, poor caster angle, etc. I don't know if anyone can precisely explain [I]why[/I] death wobble happens sometimes and why it doesn't others. The problem on the jeep usually manifests itself as really bad steering wander. Like it's nearly impossible to steer out of ruts in the road. If it's as bad as you're making it sound, it's pretty unsafe and there probably isn't an established name for the phenomenon since anyone who tried to drive it at highway speeds doesn't live long enough to tell the tale. Clear as mud? [/QUOTE]
