Has anybody experienced a rattle coming from the undercarriage at low RPM's? I have a 2008 Sahara Unlimited and started hearing noises when driving it off the lot. It's got only 1000 miles on it. Any advice would be helpful

My 07 4door jeep wrangler has Death Wobble, and dealer is going to replace it with an after market steering stablilizer. Jeep doesn't have a replacement yet. they are saying they have only a few problems with this. I had to get mad before they would fix it because they couldn't duplcate it at the shop

I have had my 2007 wrangler back to the dealer to have the steering stabilizer twice, so far. Now they tell me my tires are bad and will need to be replaced because they will cause the shaking to come back. I say the stabilizer is probably what caused by tires to go bad, not the other way around.

I am getting my jeep back tomorrow with a new steering stablizer. You should call jeep because I did and they replaced the stablilizer with no problems. I was told that they have others(Jeeps) in the area with the same problem and they are fixing them also. You have to get mad!!!!!

The dealer has been replacing the stabilizer with no questions asked, it is just a pain in the neck when I have to take the time to drive 40 minutes one way to the dealer and figure on spending 2 hours waiting for them to do the work. Especially when I told them that both my jeep and my son's (who bought his a week after I did) had the same problem and they tried to tell me that they can't understand because they checked with Jeep and noone else has had to replace it more than the original time. I tried to tell them, that maybe it's something else causing it to go bad.

If you guys had some kind of TSB # it would ease the process.
 
I still think a steering stabilizer is a bandaid and that there is more to the problem than this. A properly set up steering really doesn't need a stabilizer.
 
I personally think Jeep is trying to cover a deeper issue.

Hi all, My 07 Unlimited Wrangler has the same problem, end of summer 2007 the dealer changed the steering stabalizer. I had my 17 rims on at that time. The problem seemed to be fixed. During this last winter season i had on my 16 inch rims with winter T. Last week i put my 17 inch rims back on, taddam the problem came back. The problems seems one of bad conception. Has anyone had the same problem with 16 inch rims? The mechanic at the dealer told me that 17 inch rims and higher were probably too much for the stabalizer. Anyway this a major issue, we should all write to Chrysler to tell them that we will hold them criminally responsible if anyone should get hurt or killed because of this problem. I'm not joking when the front end of the car starts wobbling, it can scare the sh... out of you..

New Jeep Wrangler Owner by seatoyotasales

Just bought a used 2007 Jeep Wrangler X in Red Rock Pearl with Khaki Interior and black soft top. Previously owned by a military guy who stored it in his garage for a year while overseas. Only has 10,400 miles on it and is near perfect. It has the upgraded sound system with Satellite radio and sub in the back, cloth seats, cruise, tilt and A/C. 6 Speed manual. Already stopped by the Jeep dealer to check out the VIN and service advisor says it needs the brake computer "flash" which was a TSB or service campaign. Interior rear view mirror is also starting to delaminate so it should be a warranty item as well. Replacing my 2001 GMC truck with the Jeep and have a Lexus to drive too but this one is more fun that either of those.
 
How easy is the soft top to take off and put back on? Seattle weather here is getting nice so it is going to have to come down soon!
 
Also, even though the 7 speaker sound system is pretty good, does anybody know if changing the tweets on the dash and the other speakers is fairly easy? Might be something down the road but I want the stock look and keep the current amp/head unit.
 
This forum was a big help and I will keep my eye open for some of the items mentioned to watch out for.
 
Oh ya, paid $13,850 for it (It was a trade in from a Toyota dealer I work at so I got a great price on it)
