Total death wobble twice, pretty scary, only a couple shots of tequila, no I'm kidding but both times hit a small pothole, wasnt going fast and pee'd my pants. Only way to stop the wobble was slowing to a stop.

Have you had anyone make sure everything is torqued down in the front end?

Yes, all has been checked, so now I'm thinking I'm going to try little changes that might help, alignment, wheels checked, steering stabilizer, adjustable track track bar installed. From what I've read those could all be band-aids but at this point I'm willing to try.

X 10 :bawling: I am having lower control arms installed next week. I hope this will solve this problem. I have also found that when I torque everything down the DW stops for about a week then slowly comes back. It’s like looking forward to a root canal every week. So much fun….???

Scary fun and I wonder what it looks from outside the Jeep when it happens. I'm just going to start with the little things and see if that works first.

If you haven't seen it yet, here's a pretty good thread that will help.

When I had stock rear track bar and a front adjustable track bar...I adjusted the front (I believe) too far out. Had one hell of a vibration come from the front of the jeep. But I dont know if it was the dreaded "death wobble". Several days later I changed the non adj rear tb to a Poly adj tb. Got them to the same exact length and have never had the vibration ever again. Even at hwy speed...the jeep handles like a dream. (just throwing this out there)

Good info but I must admit I'm somewhat an airhead when it comes to some of what was discussed.

Man, that's still giving you issues? Did you ever get it to stop temporarily? It might help people diagnose your problem if you list every mod you have done to your JK.
