So, death wobble is back to haunt me again. so, it happens at one point in the turning radius of the steering wheel. always at the same point.. im thinking the tie rod ends are warn in that one spot.. any other ideas before i go is out in 20 degree temps to screw with the jeep?

Check your wheel joints too.

If you turn it past that "point" does the wobble disappear?

yeah, it stops when i go past that "point".. wheel joints are a possibilty too.. really, all the joints should be replaced.. but, i just need a temp fix for now, until i get the Armorology Heavy duty Steering set up.. but im waiting for that one...

i knew what you meant ohio.. somehow.. anyway, its not my u joints.. im pretty sure is the joint where the drag link meets the tie rod, and where the tierod meets the passanger wheel.. atleast, those are the only 2 joints i checked before i was freezing.. so, ill check the other two tomorrow.. they are probably worn too.. hopefully i hear from armorology soon..

Yeah, it's most likely a tie rod end. Good luck with the fix.
