I need suggestions on the famous death wobble on an 89 cherokee. What to do. Also cruise control and the emmissions light in the dash that turn's back on when you plug the emission's timer on under the dash. Any suggestions on what to do. Thanks..

hay whats up you have the death wobble does it happin all the time or did it just happin,that happins to the newer dodges a buddy of mine had it happin to him just last week,check your bushings on your control arms are you running stock or after markit arms also if your running bigger wheels tires that may cause it to happin those stock arms can't handle much,well thats what i know from experince also push your rig back and forth and see if your bushings in your control arms have play that can make a lot of hard ake on your front end.up grade your arms to rock crawler they run hemi joints check steering ball joints pinon angle those all play a part.

Hey it is a stock cherokee. It happens when travelling down the road and you hit a bump or something while turning slightly. You have to slam on the brakes to save your skin. Can't see that sway bar or panhard bushings are loose.??????? I will check my control arms.

I put the skyjacker drop bracket on my axle and it wobbled like a bat outta hell. Maybe your angles are off.
