    IMO DW is not too common but some suspension modifications may have a role increasing the risk. DW should be repairable once the cause is identified and extended driving with DW can lead to additional worn suspension components.

    ...check out post #7 as there is a good link in that thread: https://www.jeeps.net/threads/death-wobble-question.4764/

    Well ... he us at the shop, can’t drive him due to all the damage that one mechanic had caused with improper installation of the 3.5” lift kit... did not align ... asymmetrically worn and shot drag link, ball joints, tie rod ends, rear sway bar and ... etc ...

    They wouldn’t let me take my Jeep home until it's fixed.

    Oh, even the new steering stabilizer was wrongly installed by that incapable mechanic back then ..

    Yeah, bad bad death wobble .. tires almost skipping when it happened, squeaking, too. It got really bad!!

    I had a 4 inch lift on my baby girl and had 33” tires double steering stabilizer worked great.You don’t have to buy the most expensive but somewhere in the middle price range
