    Watch this. If you've read my satsuma review you'll understand why I'm posting this!

    Very scary! It is very common in the pre-fca 3.8 wranglers and rams 3rd gen rams.

    Happens to 2nd gen Rams too, our '94 work truck has done it before.

    I've had loads of 2nd gen Dodge trucks, never had a death wobble, I've also had several Jeeps, and almost all of them have had a death wobble at some point. That being said I do have a friend with a 2000 half ton 4wd Dodge, that is absolutely terrifying at anything above 30 MPH, it's literally picking up one wheel up and slamming the other down.

    Ok Houston we have a problem. The JK's alternator blew up (shitty chrysler parts) and I dont have access to it. Anyway, we a Pro-comp dual bypass steering stabiliser (made for vehicles with 44" tires+, we run 33s), forged bolts, and really strong bushings, and *snap* fixed!
