Title: HELP! QUICK!!
Post by: AV.NINE on October 14, 2007, 06:59:32 PM

Hey all,

I just bought a new rig today, 99 tj 8" skyjacker, it has the upgraded rubicon steering package with a stablizer. Anyways, occansionally I hit a bump and the steering wheel shakes like a trucker and the whole ride shakes. Usually I swerve a little bit and it corrects itself....... any ideas? I havent driven it on the highway yet but have to in about an hour!!

Thanks all,
Justin

Haha, I called Jay from Chanda Precision and he said the same thing!!! He talked me through what it could be and it turned out that the rubicon track bar that was just put in was loose where it attaches to the frame. If any one ever needs work done I suggest those guys!!!!!! They saved me from the "death wobble"!
