Good place for Jeep "death wobble" in SLC?

[Brian P]

Hi all.
I have a friend in need of a shop that can have a look at his mid 80's(IIRC) Jeep Cherokee, He has said it has the death wobble at about 50MPH and was told or found out its possibly the Track bar?!?
I dont know...
Anyone care to pass along a referral?
Thanks

Thanks Brian and everyone else.

I'm the friend that has the Heep trouble.

The track bar was replaced last year, so I don't think it's the trouble.

For my readings on the death wobble there's like 10 to 20 things that can cause it, from tire balancing to bigger steering components.

I will report back once I have it figured out.

Thanks again all!

not only will the track bar cause this but tires also.
if you have a set of smaller try them and see if it goes a way.
had same trouble on daugterinlaws grand Cherokee
look at the uper and lower control arm bushings
some are holowed out on the lowers if you have lower adjustment for alingment.
bad shocks wiil cause death wable
dad stabaliser shock also.
things get worse with bigger tires.

TeraFlex PLUS. Pull the TB bolt (axle end) and check to see if the hole has been oblonged. If it has, then you need to repair it. This is what caused DW on my wife's 98 zj.

Things get worse with bigger tires because a lot of people don't readjust the toe-in. The size of them alone isn't reason to accept death wobble.

Great thoughts all, I believe it has stock tires now, But I have no idea about its past.
