We were doing 70 in the rubi"con" on the interstate then all the sudden we hit a bump on the bridge and it went into a horrible death wobble. We thought the co-founders were gonna die. Any ideas why this might happen. We have replaced all control arms, trac bar, coil springs, axles and the tires have been road force balanced.
-
It sounds like what mine did when the alignment was off.
-
Allsouth did the alignment. Try again please
-
Replaced the stabilizer shock?
-
Yep new rancho stabilizer
-
I need pics of said Jeep...
Check all of the bolts. Twice.
-
Sorry no pics of said jeep. It's a super BA jeep on one tons with 42" tires in the making.
-
What shocks? Post # 19 of this thread may be your answer.

Stock shocks and stock tires, although it does have a new lift 2.5" to fix the trace bar issue darn rubicon express

Was it aligned before or after the lift? Is there a chance one of the tracbar holes is egged out a little?
-
before but it rode worse than this before the lift. Like I couldn't even get it up to 40 without it wobbling like crazy.
-
Adam is it a stock jeep with one tons? What axles, ball joints or kingpins. Most of the time it is tracbars that cause that kind of shaking. What kind of mount it the tracbar. Stock frame mount? Is the hole wallowed out. Also check to see if it is pulling from the frame.

Alex it I a stock jeep with stock axles one tons are in the garage. Yes I had to drill out the trace bar at the frame to put the re lift on a few years ago but now it's secured with a new rough country trac bar

That doesn't mean it isn't causing the issue now... 4 links with tracbars are finicky.

He sold the Rubi axles. He hasn't built the 1 tons yet. Sell them back to me Adam!

The guys at 4Wh Parts had some "choice" words regarding Rough Country. Check the weld for the track bar, they had one snap at the weld. From what they say they have had MANY issues with the RC lift creating death wobble. They may be a good source to bounce this off of ??
-
My DW was so bad that I nearly had to stop the Jeep completely before it would stop.
Mine turned out to be bad alignment, uneven tire wear & inproper balance. Got new tires, which cured it right away. Got the RC lift & haven't had any problems.

same price?
-
same price?
Sure, if you load and unload them! lol.
Can't remember what it was, but they were worth every cent. Give me a call when it's a good time.
-
I will help again haha
-
When I DW it turned out to be a warped wheel. new wheels and tires and it hasn't happened since. This may not be the case with you but it solved my issue...
Good Luck...
-
any chance the trac bar mounts on the axle or frame could be slightly bent?
-
I had mine do that before ended up being alighnment around 50MPH. I would at least check it again. Im sure all south will check it again if you tell them what happened.

I've been preaching that Dave, no need for them stupid trac bars either. ::)

its just like getting older, you start off in diapers and then end up in them too. same goes with leaf springs......
CJ ALL THE WAY!!!
lol
-
Problem solved. After the adjustable control arms were removed we reused the Rubicon Express hardware. Which is bolts and standard washers for the front lower arms @ the axle. Should have reinstalled the factory alignment washers. The caster was bad off. Thanks to Allsouth that aligned it and got it back on the road.
