When I hit a bump the steering on my Wrangler wobbles BAD!! I had a new sway bar put on and had the tires rotated, balanced and had an alignment done. What will fix the Wobble?
I had the same problem on my 04 tj, if you have a lift or larger tires it happens frequently, they call it the "death wobble" buy steering stabilizers, there's one that replaces the factory one and there's another one that is supplemental and it goes a little bit below the stock one..... i got mine on quadratec.com for like $60 and i dont get any wobble anymore
Steering dampner (thing that looks like a shock absorber mounted sideways) can cause this. Most good alignment shops will check front end components for wear (shame on them if they didn't) but sometimes what seems like "acceptable play" if added to other components in similar condition can add up to a total of unacceptable...If dampner does not help, I'd start eliminating anything with any wear. A side-note to this is about caster angle...I never like factory camber settings...it does make steering easier but I prefer setting caster at least one full degree (+) past factory settings. This makes the vehicle more stable at higher speeds and often eliminates tendency of wheels to wobble. (won't go into full details, but it's why you can ride a bicycle with "no hands" if you turn the fork around and try that you will land on your ****!) If adjustable, it involves placing equal thickness shims on both sides, behind rear of front lower control arms. Changing this may alter toe in, so that should be re-set.
