Consumer Description

"DEATH WOBBLE". ON AN INCONSISTENT BASIS THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING IS TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY AND SLOW DOWN BELOW 30 MPH. DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER BUT DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS NOW AT A 4WD SUSPENSION SPECIALIST WHO HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES BUT OVER THE PAST WEEK CANNOT IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. *JB
