    Does anyone know how to contact a factory tech rep to discuss what is needed to safely flat tow the new JL. Has Jeep solved the death wobble issue with the new wiring harness? Is it possible to eliminate the steering drift experienced with the JL?

    Not an expert on JLs but death wobble due to wiring harness?

    Not due to wiring harness, Jeep is coming out with a special wiring harness for the JL. Is this wiring harness designed to eliminate the death wobble?

    The death wobble of front steering is due to electric motor assisted power steering

    Wow that could explain the connection with the wire harness for JLs. I only know about the other typical causes of death wobble in older jeeps
