I consider this thread to be very ironic, because I have answered countless threads on this forum and elsewhere, helping people diagnose their DW. I had considered myself somewhat knowledgeable on the topic and how to solve DW issues.
My XJ (the original one) has been out-of-service with Death Wobble for months.
We have tried everything we can think of:
[li]checked track bar first (of course). tightened down the bolts [/li]
[li]Test drive, still Death Wobble. [/li]
[li]checked and replaced (where necessary) ball joints[/li]
[li]Test drive, still Death Wobble. [/li]
[li]checked and replaced (where necessary) upper control arm bushings [/li]
[li]checked and replaced (where necessary) lower control arm bushings [/li]
[li]checked and replaced (where necessary) tie rod ends [/li]
[li]checked and replaced (where necessary) drag link ends [/li]
[li]checked hubs [/li]
[li]checked all u-joints (replaced rear pinion u-joint) [/li]
[li]Test drive, still Death Wobble. [/li]
[li]installed new shocks [/li]
[li]reattached the sway-bar which had been disconnected for a long time [/li]
[li]Test drive, still Death Wobble.[/li]
[li]rotated tires [/li]
[li]alignment [/li]
[li]Test drive, still Death Wobble. [/li]
