Has anybody tried new tires/wheels off another vehicle? Possible the wheels are defective? Not necessarily out of balance, but just crooked? Has anybody looked at the rotor surfaces where the wheels mount to the hub? I'd seriously have them look at not just the steering components, but the joints for the steering knuckles and ensure all joints are GOOD AND that the mounting surfaces and wheels are straight and true.

I have the same problem along with Other's on this site...If there is no solution it is time to get the Law involved...I did not pay $26,000 to have my jeep sit in the front yard...Any suggestions?

i am intrested to hear your specifics.. what model Jeep and Year as well as what has been done so far please!
I just picked up my Jeep after the 5th time this week. The dealership has re checked EVERYTHING and nothing is wrong. They have no idea what to do. They have a call in to the Chrystler star team for help again. I would like to try a new set of tires to see if that is the issue. I am trying to work on making that happen. Customer service is useless so be prepared but call to get a case # set up. To let you know where I am at with all this I this week have mailed out individual letters to the entire leadership team of Chrysler Corp. I was also able to obtain the direct fax # and phone # to the fablous CEO Robert Nardelli. So I am working it the best I can and will keep up with the updates.

Thanks......For all of you out there that have not had this done DO IT.
I have had this replaced and even have a RANCHO ( not Chrysler) heavy duty off road stabilizer put in a few months ago. Issue still exists. The Chrysler stabilizer is defective and you will need to continue to have it replaced. The Chrystler star team is aware that the Rancho ones seem to work in most so far and yes the warranty WILL pay for it even though it is not a Chrysler part. Make sure your dealership is working with Chrysler directly.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. A steering stabilizer will not fix death wobble's root cause. It simply masks it. Once that stabilizer gets used a bit, the wobble will come back.

Agreed! It is not a true fix... but for some it has corrected it up to a year I have heard..... Mine it corrected it for 2 days.

I just had this done to the jeep...My repair man told me that it is a sure fix...after reading this forum i am skeptical of that. I will keep you informed on my status. If this is not the fix then I am still very interested in getting the law involved. This problem should have been a recall!

I have a 2007 4 door jeep wrangler saharah I replaced the brake pads 10 months ago and dealership told me they need to be replaced again $300.00 there is no warranty because they don't make a value-line pad for thios year model. I asked dealership if I was going to have to replace each year cause thats not a cost I felt I would have to incurr every year when i purchased. I should have kept my 2001
